I'm having problems assessing a postgres database from straight ruby.
I've created a Postgres database using Rails
>rails new www --database=postgresql
using Rails 4.2.5 and Postgres is 9.4
It produces the following config/database.yml file.
default: &default
adapter: postgresql
encoding: unicode
pool: 5
development:
<<: *default
database: www_development
test:
<<: *default
database: www_test
production:
<<: *default
database: www_production
username: www
password: <%= ENV['WWW_DATABASE_PASSWORD'] %>
I can run rails server, db:drop, db:create and db:migrate fine.
I can also access the database fine with psql
>psql www_development
But when I run the following app.rb from a non Rails project directory, I get a fe_sendauth: no password supplied (PG::ConnectionBad) error message.
It's clearly not a Rails issue. I've either missed something in my ruby or Postgres need a tweek to handle some difference between Rails and pure Ruby [that I'm not aware off]. I've also included Postgres' pg_hba.conf file.
At wits end trying to figure this one out. Any help would be much appreciated.
app.rb
require 'yaml'
require 'active_record'
require 'pg'
ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
adapter: 'postgresql',
host: 'localhost',
database: 'www_development',
)
/etc/postgresql/9.4/main/pg_hba.conf
# TYPE DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD
local all postgres peer
local all all peer
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
host all all ::1/128 md5
You don't specify neither username, no password in your ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
. I assume you want to use some SUPERUSER
without password for www_development
database - right?
as per documentation peer auth does
Obtain the client's operating system user name from the operating system and check if it matches the requested database user name.
That is why if you can psql
without password, you should be able run app.rb
with same OS user and environment without password. If you can't, then app.rb
tries to connect with different username or so...
Options:
put username: postgres
to ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
change local all all peer
to local all all trust
