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

170. cursor = connection.cursor()
File

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
