syncdb just hangs/tutorial

[L Corbani]

I am new to django, and am running the tutorial. I have edited
'settings.py' and am running "python manage.py runserver".

When I run the server and then call "python manage.py syncdb" against
my Postgres database, everything just hangs.

If I kill 'runserver', then I get this message from syncdb:

site-packages/Django-1.3-py2.4.egg/django/db/backends/
postgresql_psycopg2/base.py
line 140

self.connection = Database.connect(**conn_params)
psycopg2.OperationalError: could not connect to server: Connection
refused

When I turn the server back on and run syncdb, it just hangs. I try
turning on verbose and other options...but I see nothing.

It seems like something is talking to the server, but that is as far
as it goes.

Any thoughts of what might be wrong?

Thanks.

Try it with sqlite3. If that works, then the problem is probably with
your Postgres setup.

Try interacting with Postgres using the psql command. It's likely that
you have some problem in the configuration.

Can you provide information on what OS you are using? It may just be a
configuration issue. I had to edit the postgresql pg_hba.conf file on
my ubuntu setup to make it less strict (for development purposes).
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostgreSQL read on 'managing the
server' section to get an idea. Hope this helps.

Shawn,

In fact, it was an issue with my database settings. I changed the
host and now it is working. Thanks for helping me shift my brain a
bit this morning :)

Postgres uses a unix style user model. Its intuitive once you understand it:

I would seriously advise you to read the tutorial for this:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/manuals/

FInd out the version you are using too.

Specifically:
1.2. Architectural Fundamentals
onwards.

That error just means you dont have user/passwords/groups set up
properly and postgres has wonderful documentation!
cheers
