Can not connect to database (port issue?)

Post by swilcox »

I'm having issues finishing the manual install of TimeTrex on a Centos 6 (64bit) machine.

On Step 3 of the web install I get the message:

"Connection test to your database as a non-privileged user has FAILED! Please correct them and try again."

Looking at the postgres log I'm getting the error in the logs of:

LOG: could not connect to Ident server at address "::1", port 113: Connection refused
FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "timetrex"


I cannot find any settings to control what port timetrex tries to connect. I am able to connect to the database via webpages or locally otherwise.

I'm using:
php 6.3.2-6
postgresql 8.4.7

Thanks in advance,
-Steve

It appears that your PostgreSQL server isn't setup to accept connections from TimeTrex, I would recommend checking the PostgreSQL documentation or a PostgreSQL specific forum.
