java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

I am getting this error when I run bootRun. The only thing I've changed from the GitHub project is the giflib.db.url property in the app.properties file. That property is correct, because I can connect to the database with the browser like Chris shows in this video. Here is the app.properties file in case it helps.

# Hash salt for shortened URLs
giflib.hash.salt = xOBtdmJZxRcz^jkkyHfkrkT1*02bJUn+YQts0*xCeka%cGHCN1fjaC*faFtY

# Package where our entities (models) are located
giflib.entity.package = com.teamtreehouse.giflib.model

# Details for our datasource
giflib.db.driver = org.h2.Driver
# giflib.db.url = jdbc:h2:mem:giflib
giflib.db.url = jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost/C:/Users/my_name/IdeaProjects/giflib-hibernate/data/giflib
giflib.db.username = sa
giflib.db.password =

Any help would be appreciated! I'm at a loss since I can connect to the database via the browser using the same properties.

Here is part of the exception, if it helps.
