I'd have thought for example that >>> INFO:root:found database at least indicates that it made a database connection to somewhere. Thus my suspicion that "somewhere" might be different from where you're connecting to manually. I think you could clarify things quite a bit by enabling log_connections and log_statement, and then watching the postmaster log while you run the app. regards, tom lane
