gerrit not starting with postgres - postgresql

Question

Following these instructions:
https://gerrit-documentation.storage.googleapis.com/Documentation/2.11.4/install.html
Installed postgres 9.3:
sudo -i -u postgres
postgres#ubuntu:~$ psql
psql (9.3.10)
Type "help" for help.
postgres=#
The gerrit2 user cannot access psql, even though I created the user and database
postgres#ubuntu:~$ createuser --username=postgres -RDIElPS gerrit2
postgres#ubuntu:~$ createdb --username=postgres -E UTF-8 -O gerrit2 reviewdb
^d
gerrit2#ubuntu:~$ psql
psql: FATAL: database "gerrit2" does not exist
Installed gerrit 2.11.4:
gerrit2#ubuntu:~$ java -jar gerrit-2.11.4.war init -d .
See gerrit.conf result of install:
[gerrit]
basePath = .
canonicalWebUrl = http://ubuntu:8080/
[database]
type = postgresql
hostname = localhost
database = reviewdb
username = gerrit2
[index]
type = LUCENE
[auth]
type = OPENID
[sendemail]
smtpServer = localhost
smtpUser = lmougen5
[container]
user = gerrit2
javaHome = /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre
[sshd]
listenAddress = *:22
[httpd]
listenUrl = http://*:8080/
[cache]
directory = cache
gerrit init didn't bring up the browser as per the instructions, so I attempted a reindex. Note errors in output:
gerrit2#ubuntu:~$ java -jar gerrit-2.11.4.war reindex

Then a restart, probably need to address errors first. Along with gerrit2 user's access to psql reviewdb:
gerrit2#ubuntu:~$ ~/bin/gerrit.sh restart
Restart failed, here's ~/logs/error_log:

Answer 1

Gerrit runs its own ssh daemon instance and thus must be given its own port separate than any other sshd instances.
The init failure went away once given a unique port, and then the gerrit web site was accessible.
Bad:
[sshd]
listenAddress = *:22
Good:
[sshd]
listenAddress = *:29418
