This usually is a symptom of a mis-configured postgres file; typically /etc/postgresql/8.3/main/pg_hba.conf Look in the postgres log file (/var/log/postgresql/postgresql-8.3-main.log) for additional clues to your error.
Mary From: fossology-boun...@fossology.org [mailto:fossology-boun...@fossology.org] On Behalf Of Dave McLoughlin Sent: Thursday, July 07, 2011 3:46 PM To: fossology@fossology.org Subject: [FOSSology] Database connection error I'm running into a problem with a database connection error after install of 1.4.1 on Ubuntu 1.4.1. When I re-ran fo-postinstall to make sure everything was okay I got: *** Running postinstall for everything *** *** Setting up the FOSSology database *** NOTE: fossology database already exists, not creating *** Checking for plpgsql support *** NOTE: plpgsql already exists in fossology database, good *** Creating user and group *** NOTE: group 'fossy' already exists, good. NOTE: user 'fossy' already exists, good. *** Making sure needed dirs exist with right ownership/permissions *** NOTE: Repository already exists at /srv/fossology/repository NOTE: /srv/fossology/repository/localhost directory already exists *** Checking database connectivity *** NOTE: Connect succeeded, database is working. But my fossology.log shows 2011-07-07 13:30:49 scheduler[1030] : FATAL: fo_watchdog unable to connect to database. Terminating. 2011-07-07 13:34:30 scheduler[2408] : Log opened 2011-07-07 13:34:30 scheduler[2408] : Scheduler kill requested. Killing scheduler. Also trying psql I get: $ psql -d fossology -U fossy psql: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "fossy" Any ideas? Dave Any ideas?
