Every time I try to do a python manage.py migrate I get:
django.db.utils.OperationalError: FATAL: password authentication
failed for user "postgres"
FATAL: password authentication failed for user "postgres"
System Debian linux jessie
python 2.79
Django 1.8
Postgresql 9.4.3 database
Using virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper
Postgres has root privileges in the Debian passwd file.
Project settings.py file database setup
# Database
# https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/settings/#databases
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
'NAME': 'archivedb',
'USER': 'postgres',
'PASSWORD': 'xxxxxx', # A valid debian pw
'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
'PORT': '5432'
}
}
I'm not certain how this should be corrected. Postgres ( using \d
commands) does not seem to have any privileges set. Am I supposed to go
outside the virtual environment to set up a postgres account in postgres
or is Django supposed to do this with the migrate command. I feel like
I am at a critical point where I can really screw things up and need
some expert advise. This is my first time working with python / Django
and am really shaky. I do have another learning project (rango) using
SQLite that works fine.
