You should create the database in Postgres database manager first (PgAdmin or so...).
I use following steps: You should read how to start work with new Postgres server. In Linux/Debian I use "peer" authentication for user "postgres", i.e. I have in /etc/postgresql/9.4/main/pg_hba.conf the line local all postgres peer Then I can log into psql as user "postgres" and set his password: [root $] su - postgres [postgres $] psql [#] \password [#] \q Then I can in Postgres database manager (PgAdmin) attach the server: server "localhost", user "postgres", password: from previous step I create one database and one user for one web2py application and I do it so: CREATE ROLE myuser LOGIN password 'somepassword'; CREATE DATABASE mydatabase ENCODING 'UTF8' OWNER myuser; Then I can connect from web2py: postgres://myuser:somepassword@localhost:5432/mydatabase Previous works well. So check what is different...
