Newbie: Running Para with postgres driver about para

[albogdano]

You should have a ./lib folder where you can put the JDBC connector driver for PostgreSQL (a JAR file). Without that you won't be able to connect. After you put the JAR file in ./lib, restart Para.

Thanks. This does seem to solve it for me:

$>ls -l
./
../
data/
lib/
para-application.conf
para-dao-sql-1.45.10-shaded.jar
para-jar-1.48.2.jar
scoold/

And the lib folder:

$> ls -a lib
postgresql-42.6.0.jar

The error when I start Para is still:

2023-06-13 06:31:54 [INFO ] --- Para.initialize() [production] ---

Try starting Para with the loader.path=lib argument:

java -jar -Dconfig.file=./application.conf -Dloader.path=lib  para.jar

Yep, this was totally it! thanks !
