I used this string to connect to postgresql database db = DAL( "postgres://mauricewaka:b123test##@localhost:5432/mydb")
as well as this db = DAL( "postgres://mauricewaka:b123##@localhost/test") But got this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/maurice/py4web/py4web/core.py", line 846, in import_app module_name, init File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap_external>", line 399, in _check_name_wrapper File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap_external>", line 823, in load_module File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap_external>", line 682, in load_module File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 265, in _load_module_shim File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 684, in _load File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 665, in _load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap_external>", line 678, in exec_module File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 219, in _call_with_frames_removed File "apps/letsdo/__init__.py", line 28, in <module> db = DAL( "postgres://mauricewaka:b123test##@localhost/test") File "/home/maurice/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pydal/base.py", line 208, in __call__ obj = super(MetaDAL, cls).__call__(*args, **kwargs) File "/home/maurice/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pydal/base.py", line 525, in __init__ "Failure to connect, tried %d times:\n%s" % (attempts, tb) RuntimeError: Failure to connect, tried 5 times: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/maurice/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pydal/base.py", line 506, in __init__ self._adapter = adapter(**kwargs) File "/home/maurice/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pydal/adapters/postgres.py", line 28, in __call__ return AdapterMeta.__call__(cls, *args, **kwargs) File "/home/maurice/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pydal/adapters/__init__.py", line 41, in __call__ obj = super(AdapterMeta, cls).__call__(*args, **kwargs) File "/home/maurice/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pydal/adapters/postgres.py", line 67, in __init__ after_connection, File "/home/maurice/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pydal/adapters/base.py", line 417, in __init__ super(SQLAdapter, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) File "/home/maurice/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pydal/adapters/base.py", line 86, in __init__ self._initialize_() File "/home/maurice/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pydal/adapters/postgres.py", line 113, in _initialize_ self.get_connection() File "/home/maurice/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pydal/connection.py", line 65, in get_connection connection = self.connector() File "/home/maurice/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pydal/adapters/postgres.py", line 134, in connector return self.driver.connect(**self.driver_args) File "/home/maurice/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/psycopg2/__init__.py", line 126, in connect conn = _connect(dsn, connection_factory=connection_factory, **kwasync) psycopg2.OperationalError: could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host "localhost" (127.0.0.1) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
