Most probably this is the problem:

db.default.url="postgres://play:play@localhost:9000/Play_Playground_DB"

The play doku says, "db.default.url" is a plain JDBC-URL. There are two problems with your value:

• It is not in a format recognized by PostgreSQL. Look here for allowed formats.
• With ...default... you redefine the default datasource. By default this calls for trouble unless you do some more steps.

A valid PostgreSQL URL might look like this in your case:

jdbc:postgresql://localhost:9000/Play_Playground_DB

But:_ Are sure your database is running on port 9000? You say psql Play_Playground_DB works for you. Therefore I think your port should be the default port 5432. Then this URL is the right one:

jdbc:postgresql://localhost/Play_Playground_DB
