Ident authentication failed for user "graphite"

I'm in the process of installing Graphite. I'm using postgresql under Centos 7.3. When I go to import the django schema into postgres, I get the following TB:

[root@hera graphite]# PYTHONPATH=$GRAPHITE_ROOT/webapp django-admin.py migrate --settings=graphite.settings --run-syncdb

django.db.utils.OperationalError: FATAL:  Ident authentication failed for user "graphite"

I've added the graphite user to postgres and verified that the correct postgres user name, password and database engine are in local_settings.py. Any ideas where I might have missed something?

Solution

  • I just happen to walk into the same problem this afternoon on RHEL 7.3. In my case i edited /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf and changed the line:

    # IPv4 local connections:
host    all             all             127.0.0.1/32            ident

    to:

    host    all             all             127.0.0.1/32            md5

    then restart postgresql. Also it's good to verify/check if you actually can log in with the user to postgres and have the correct database permissions.
