Play Java - cannot connect do database postgreSQL

Question

I created new play-java application using activator. Now I need to connect it to a postgreSQL database. Whatever I tried, I always got this error:

Error in custom provider, Configuration error: Configuration error[Cannot connect to database [default]]

Here is my build.sbt with latest dependencies:

libraryDependencies += "postgresql" % "postgresql" % "9.1-901-1.jdbc4"
libraryDependencies += "mysql" % "mysql-connector-java" % "5.1.38"

and here is application.conf:

db.default.driver=org.postgresql.Driver
db.default.url="jdbc:postgresql://localhost/table4you"
db.default.user="postgres"
db.default.password="test"

I even tried this:

db.default.driver=org.postgresql.Driver
db.default.url="jdbc:postgresql://postgres:test@localhost:6789/table4you"

which also does not work. Afterwards I tried to check if mySQL will work, and I added mysql dependency in build.sbt and changed the driver and URL to :

#db.default.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
#db.default.url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/table4you"
#db.default.user="root"
#db.default.password=""

and it worked! But I really have to make it work with postgres. Now I assume that the problem is with the database itself, and not with the application.conf file. The way I start the database is, I open pgAdmin III, and inside it I connect to my server and to table4you database (by double clicking on them). Should I use some other way of starting postgresql database maybe? What could I do to make it work with postgresql?

EDIT: I tried this, but I get the same error again: I created a database on heroku, and I used the connection settings I got there (host name, username, password and database name) to use online database instead of localhost one. Shame the output is same as before :(.

Here is the stacktrace of error:

Answer 1

It's fixed now, and it works. The problem was I used the old postgresql dependency (made in 2011.) and as soon as I replaced it with new dependency (December 2015.) error just dissapeared. Thanks @robinj for helping..
