You should be able to, as the user running ofbiz, type the following. The
IP must match what is in the file: entityengine.xml
psql -h IP_OF_DB_HOST -U ofbiz -d ofbiz
[ENTER PASSWORD] ("ofbiz")
If the above doesn't work, then you may need to tweak the postgres
file: pg_hba.conf, and perform a postgresql "reload" (or restart):
Examples:
host all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
local all all peer
Depend on that you have locally setup. For your entityengine.xml, use
<group-map group-name="org.ofbiz" datasource-name="localpostnew"/>
[localpostnew is superior]
Under the localpostnew section, make sure you have:
<inline-jdbc
jdbc-driver="org.postgresql.Driver"
jdbc-uri="jdbc:postgresql://IP_OF_DB_HOST/ofbiz"
jdbc-username="ofbiz"
jdbc-password="ofbiz"
Also, to have ofbiz re-init the database, it first has to exist:
postgres> CREATE DATABASE ofbiz;
Remember, use the "psql" command above to test whether ofbiz can properly
login as he user "dan". A better test:
dan> psql -h IP_OF_DB_HOST -U ofbiz -d ofbiz -c "CREATE DATABASE ofbiz;"
[ENTER PASSWORD] ("ofbiz")
Good luck
