heya,
Thanks for the tip. It does work now, following your advice =).
I created a new PostgreSQL user named "www-data". I then changed my
settings.py file:
'USER': 'www-data', # Not used with
sqlite3.
'PASSWORD': 'ourpassword', # Not used
with sqlite3.
'HOST': '', # Set to empty string for
localhost. Not used with sqlite3.
'PORT': '', # Set to empty string for
default. Not used with sqlite3.
}
However, I'm still curious as to what changed, as I'm fairly sure this
setup worked on the old Ubuntu 9.04 server? And I'm definitely sure
that the database username was set to "victorhooi" on that old system
- I copied the settings.py file over using verbatim (rsync).
Also, is this recommended practice, to use "www-data" as the backend
database username?
Cheers,
Victor
