Thanks. > This looks like either you forgot to put the username in your connection string, or you have a PostgreSQL configuration problem. It says you're trying to login with username "postgres". However, on most distributions "postgres" is the name of the DBMS's super-user account, as well as the name of the POSIX account that PostgreSQL runs as. Thus, for security reasons, by default you won't be able to log in as "postgres" on the DBMS except from a local process running as the POSIX account "postgres". ("Ident authentication" just means "your POSIX account name must be the same as the DBMS account name") Check that you have put a DBMS username and password in the connection string of your engine, that the user has permission to access the database you're trying to connect to, and that PG is configured to allow that user to connect via TCP/IP using password authentication, not just ident authentication. Following the steps in the "security" and "creating a user" sections in the wiki page you linked to should set up the user and permissions properly. Whatever username/password you create with that procedure should be the one you use for SQLAlchemy. -Kyle --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
