This is virtual server with centos 5.5 in internet.
I have successfully instaled web2py with Apache and mod_wsgi based
mainly on instructions from 
http://web2py.com/AlterEgo/default/show/239 and 
http://web2py.com/AlterEgo/default/show/240

Probably last step is missing.
I am getting this error when accessing site from internet:
RuntimeError: Failure to connect to DB. Tried 5 times

when I start it from command line, it shows support for PostgreSQL:
python2.6 web2py/web2py.py -i xx.xx.xx.xx -p 7777 -a password

web2py Enterprise Web Framework

I can verify access from command line:
psql -U w2p -d w2p -h 127.0.0.1 -p 5432
Password for user w2p: 
Welcome to psql 8.1.21, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

Type:  \copyright for distribution terms
       \h for help with SQL commands
       \? for help with psql commands
       \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
       \q to quit

w2p=# \q

It works.


In ... web2py/applications/welcome/models/db.py
db = DAL('postgres://w2p:passw...@127.0.0.1:5432/w2p')

What could be the problem? I have no further idea how to verify the
reason for failure of connection.
