I want to change from sqlite to postgresql. At first I have installed postgresql and prepared everything as described in the book. Next I have built a sample application with a line like
db1 = DAL("postgres://web2py:web2py123@localhost:5432/securedb") Works fine! Now I have tried cpdb ( I have broken the lines for better readablity): root@test:/home/www-data/web2py# python scripts/cpdb.py -f applications/postgesql_test/databases -y sqlite://storage.sqlite -Y postgres://web2py:web2py123@localhost:5432/securedb -d gluon/ -t False The result is an error message: EXCEPTION: could not make a copy of the database Failure to connect, tried 5 times: Traceback (most recent call last): File "gluon/dal.py", line 7766, in __init__ self._adapter = ADAPTERS[self._dbname](**kwargs) File "gluon/dal.py", line 2756, in __init__ if do_connect: self.find_driver(adapter_args,uri) File "gluon/dal.py", line 795, in find_driver raise RuntimeError("no driver available %s" % str(self.drivers)) RuntimeError: no driver available ('psycopg2', 'pg8000') Next try - a copy from sqlite to sqlite root@test:/home/www-data/web2py# python scripts/cpdb.py -f applications/postgresql_test/databases -y sqlite://storage.sqlite -Y sqlite://storage2.sqlite -F applications/postgresql_test/databases -d gluon/ -t False creating tables... exporting data... importing data... done! Ok, no problem - cpdb works. And now the interactive version: root@test:/home/www-data/web2py# python scripts/cpdb.py -f applications/postgresql_test/databases -y sqlite://storage.sqlite -Y postgres://web2py:web2py123@localhost:5432/securedb -d gluon/ -t False -i >>> t=DAL("postgres://web2yp:web2py123@localhost:5432/securedb", folder=None) sorry, can not do that! Failure to connect, tried 5 times: Traceback (most recent call last): File "gluon/dal.py", line 7766, in __init__ self._adapter = ADAPTERS[self._dbname](**kwargs) File "gluon/dal.py", line 2756, in __init__ if do_connect: self.find_driver(adapter_args,uri) File "gluon/dal.py", line 795, in find_driver raise RuntimeError("no driver available %s" % str(self.drivers)) RuntimeError: no driver available ('psycopg2', 'pg8000') I have tried DAL calls like DAL("postgres:psycopg2:") and DAL("postgres:pg8000:") - similar results. Any ideas?
