External Postgres for Jasperserver Metadata DB

[rusty.ross]

With a working JRS 5.5 Pro installtion, I am trying to move the Jasperserver Metadata DB to an external postgres host.

I have the jasperserver database imported (and running fine) on the external postgres host.

I have modified both js.jdbc.properties and classes/js.jdbc.properties  (not sure if both need to be modified) as follows:

# jasperserver repo db settings

metadata.jdbc.driverClassName=org.postgresql.Driver

metadata.jdbc.url=jdbc:postgresql://external-postgres-host.mydomain.mytld:5432/jasperserver

metadata.jdbc.username=external-postgres-user

metadata.jdbc.password=external-postgres-password

metadata.jdbc.password.escapeXML=external-postgres-password

 

However, after restarting JRS, JRS seems to ignore these properities and still connect to the postgres metadata DB on localhost.

 

What's missing here?
