Beancounter and PostgeSQL?
I have just installed beancounter, using PostgeSQL as a backend, and am
having a problem. When I run 'setup_beancounter' it creates the empty
database, but when it then tries to connect and populate the db with sample
data I get an error saying:
"No luck with database connection"
I get the same error if I try to run "beancounter status". The problem is
when DBI.pm tries to connect to the database.
I can connect to the database just fine with psql. Once connected, I can
query the tables (which are empty) to verify that the db was created
correctly. Why can I connect through psql, but not through the application?
A similar thing happened once, before, with Pronto. The app would not
connect to the db, but psql would. I had to change a few lines of code so
that it would not send password data to PostgreSQL (since I have no password
set up for my db). Now the code is in the middle of DBI.pm and I really
don't want to mess with it. Is there something that I may have set up
incorrectly when I installed PostgreSQL? This has to be working for other
people. What am I doing wrong?
