Hi, I have a strange problem running Django on a GrokThis.net shared hosting account: Environment: ------------------------------------------------------ Apache/2.0.59 (Unix) mod_fastcgi/2.4.2 PostgreSQL 8.1.3 ------------------------------------------------------ settings.py: ------------------------------------------------------ DATABASE_ENGINE = 'postgresql' DATABASE_USER = 'user_name' DATABASE_PASSWORD = '***' ------------------------------------------------------ or ------------------------------------------------------ DATABASE_ENGINE = 'postgresql_psycopg2' DATABASE_USER = 'user_name' DATABASE_PASSWORD = '***' ------------------------------------------------------ Django on FastCgi renders this error: ------------------------------------------------------ Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/shared/user_name/django_src/django/template/__init__.py" in render_node 706. result = node.render(context) File "/home/shared/user_name/django_src/django/template/__init__.py" in render 757. return self.encode_output(output) File "/home/shared/user_name/django_src/django/template/__init__.py" in encode_output 739. return str(output) File "/home/shared/user_name/django_src/django/db/models/query.py" in __repr__ 97. return repr(self._get_data()) File "/home/shared/user_name/django_src/django/db/models/query.py" in _get_data 430. self._result_cache = list(self.iterator()) File "/home/shared/user_name/django_src/django/db/models/query.py" in iterator 170. cursor = connection.cursor() File "/home/shared/user_name/django_src/django/db/backends/postgresql/base.py" in cursor 43. self.connection = Database.connect(conn_string) OperationalError at / FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "user_name" ------------------------------------------------------ Surprisingly, I can succesfully connect to the db using either: - psql - PostgreSQL interactive terminal - django-admin.py shell - django-admin.py dbshell - django development server - Navicat PostgreSQL from my own pc using ssh-tunnel The only circumstance in which I cannot seem to connect to the db is using the FastCgi instance, although it is configured to use the same settings file as above... [1] Can anybody shed a light on the difference between the FastCgi context and the ones mentioned above? I suspect it must have something to do with pg_hba.conf... but I can't see the difference between the contexts. [2] How do I resolve this issue? :) Thanks very much in advance! Best regards, bin
