Since PostgreSQL is listening on a different machine, then it is more or less clear from the error message that the traffic is being filtered. It's strange it works sometimes and other times it isn't working. Does it have a static IP address? Is the PostgreSQL server machine running something like fail2ban?

What I'd do if I had such a problem would be to investigate the PostgreSQL server machine at the time when the problem is occurring (e.g. check /var/log/syslog and `iptables -L`).

Hi Antonis,

Yes, the PostgreSQL server is on a difference machine than Django. I have noticed that initial connections are successful but it fails in the later connections mainly in long running jobs.

Thanks,
Disha

    Hi!

    I shall assume that PostgreSQL is listening on port 5432. "Connection
    timed out" means that the client (Django/psycopg2 in this case) is not
    getting any response—as if the PostgreSQL server machine did not exist.
    ("Connection refused", on the other hand, means that the PostgreSQL server
    machine replied that connection on port 5432 is not possible, because
    there is no process listening on that port.)

    If Django/psycopg2 have the correct domain name or IP address for the
    PostgreSQL server, and the correct port, the most common explanation for
    "Connection timed out" is that a firewall (typically on the PostgreSQL
    server) is filtering that traffic. Is your PostgreSQL server on a
    different machine than Django?

    Antonis

    Hi,
    I am facing below connection timeout error while using Postgres as
    database for my Django application.

    "psycopg2.operationalerror: could not connect to server: connection timed
    out:

    Solutions tried:
    1. increased timeout at server end.
    2. added conn_max_age in the settings and tried multiple values ( eg.
    None, 60,120)

    It is a random error but occurs very frequently.
    Kindly share if anyone aware about the reason for this issue and any
    solutions for the same.
