If you're running django under mod_python it will be using whichever account apache is running under - www-data, apache, etc.
I typically use password-based authentication instead of same-user ident authentication in postgresql. Look in pg_hba.conf on your system. My pg_hba.conf typically looks like this: local all postgres ident sameuser local all all password host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 password That allows password-based authentication for locally-initiated connections - either over local unix sockets or tcp connections on the loopback interface. Then create a postgresql user and password in psql. On 1/2/07, Michel Thadeu Sabchuk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi guys! I'm deploying a django project with postgresql as database backend. I used to create a local user with the same name of the database user (owner of the database), so I just need to run the webserver as the local user and the database should work without problems (this was true for webware). I try to run django as the local user and hit the page without success, the error message tells me: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "saraswati". What can I do? Thanks >
