I have installed Foreman via foreman-installer (that pack included Postgres DB 9.5). Now i want to create new user + new database for Zabbix, however it seems that i am doing something wrong. The image shows what commands i typed. The new user is created succesfully but i can't login as it to database. Could someone help me and explain where is the problem?
EDIT: I've added option that was suggested in another thread (WITH LOGIN) but it didn't help me:
I believe the answer is here.
In summary, "peer authentication" means postgres checked the username of the UNIX user (which is not zabbix), and ignored your -U option. Instead, you want to use "password authentication", which you can configure in your pg_hba.conf file. Check the link for instructions how to do that.

I am a new user of PostgreSQL, and I am learning it so that I can use it with Django, so I am trying to use the createdb command to create a new database, but even though I am entering the correct password for my account, I am getting this error. I reinstalled everything and checked everything I could think of but I was not able to solve this error. So, if I can get some help regarding this issue it would be nice.
Even using the command psql, and submitting the correct password, gives the same error.
I am using Windows 10.
As far as I checked, I needed to enter the password I used while installing PostgreSQL.
By the way, I am using the latest version of PostgreSQL 14.1
The command I used:
createdb testdatabase
createdb: error: connection to server at "localhost" (::1), port 5432 failed:
FATAL: password authentication failed for user "<username_placeholder>"
So, basically, I figured the solution myself. I am just posting it here because mostly answers are available for Linux and not Windows. So, if a windows user has a similar problem, maybe this answer could help them.
So, the first thing is, if you need to open psql, use the command:
psql -U postgres
and then enter the password you used while installing PostgreSQL. Now, if you wish to do something similar to what I tried, what I mean is to use createdb command in the terminal itself, then you will have to create a new user using the same username as you do for your PC, like in my case, it is aryan.
(For example: C:\Users\aryan\).
I followed instructions from this website.
I personally used pgAdmin 4 to do it, you could also use the SQL commands themselves.
After doing everything, when I used the createdb command directly from the terminal/powershell, it asked my the password which I had used to create the other user( with the same username as my system/pc) using pgAdmin 4. That's it. This helped me out.
I cannot add a connection in oracle SQL developer installed.
The error I am getting is:
IO Error :The network adapter could not establish connection.
Also can anyone help me as to what user name and password it is asking?
Is there anything else I need to install.
SQL Developer is a tool which enables you to connect to the database - let's presume an Oracle one. Did you install it? If not, is there any available on the network? If not, you'll have to do that first (i.e. install a database - 11g Express Edition might be your choice, download it here), and then let SQL Developer connect to it.
As of username and password you'd use: database owner is SYS, but - you shouldn't use it for coding training - you'd rather create a new user, or unlock one of pre-installed; unless I'm wrong, 11gXE contains the HR schema (Human Resources). In order to unlock it, establish a connection to the previously mentioned SYS user (remember which password you choose for it during the installation process) and choose the SYSDBA role. Then unlock the HR user and modify its password by issuing the following statements:
alter user hr account unlock;
alter user hr identified by hr;
Now create a new connection to HR user (this time choose the "default" role); you should be able to see its tables, run queries, etc.
Make sure your oracle database is up and running.. if you are using docker you need to restart the oracle docker image in this case.
I had similar issue then i tried to restart the oracle using
docker-compose -f docker-image-oracle.yml -d up (in this case you might have a diff name).
or you can start docker image directly from cmd .
Make sure that your hostname, listener port, sid/service name, username/password are correct.
You can use lsnrctl status to get the port number.
There are four things that come to my mind:
Is your Oracle Database installed and running? If not, install it and make sure it works.
Have you entered the correct username and password? Have you entered the correct hostname and/ or port number? If hostname and port number are wrong, check the listener.ora file (if you have the permission). Alternatively, you can look into the tnsnames.ora file.
Maybe your listener is not working after all. With the command "C:> lsnrctl status" (on cmd), you can check, if the listener works. If it doesn't, run the command "C:> lsnrctl start".
Are you using the right URL?

Here is the database I am trying to install (comes with 4 short instructions very easy to follow): https://github.com/toddwschneider/nyc-taxi-data
I used git clone to bring the repository down to my vm. And next I cd into it and run initialize_database.sh. Here is what happens:
pic of terminal
the password I am trying to use is the one provided by my Bitnami Launchpad, which says the admin user is postgres, but when I work on it it says kzherbert, my google account. I have tried su postgres but its not a user on the server so it doesnt work like that. I can use postgres password for psql -U postgres, which will take me to the psql terminal. Also, I have tried using my google account password as well and it does not work. What really interests me about the picture is where the shapefile is relevant and why it repeats and doesnt allow me to exit
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
The problem is that the database you are trying to install (Unified New York City Taxi and Uber data) assumes you're installing PostreSQl from scratch instead of using the one included in the Bitnami Image.
The script you're using assumes that the user to connect the database is the same that the System User you're using to connect to your server via SSH (kzherbert in your case). However, the password you're trying to use is the one for the user postgres.
You need to connect to PG using the password Google provided you and the user postgres and the create an user kzherbert with the password you desire.
I have a Parse app, and I'm trying to migrate my app's database to a MongoDB instance on mLab.
I already have a fork of Parse Server set up on Heroku, and I'm using Heroku's mLab MongoDB add-on.
I have a database on mLab called heroku_1ksph3jj, and I should be able to connect to it with the following template:
mongodb://<dbuser>:<dbpassword>#ds047124.mlab.com:47124/heroku_1ksph3jj
However, each attempt returns:
Server returned error on SASL authentication step: Authentication failed.
I'm unsure what to replace <dbuser> and <dbpassword> with. I have a database user with the same name as my database: heroku_1ksph3jjz, so I used that. And I used the password for that user in place of <dbpassword>. Should I have used something else here?
You can get the dbuser and dbpass with:
heroku config | grep MONGODB_URI
Grab the dbuser (example_user) and dbpass (example_pass) from the response:
MONGOLAB_URI: mongodb://example_user:example_pass#mlab.com:12345/db
As of March 2016, mLab.com only supports mongo 3.0+ (as per a conversation with support), because of their new onerous authentication requirements.
This was not on the website, but I hope it helps someone here!
There's a message to create a user for the specific database:
A database user is required to connect to this database. To create one now, visit the 'Users' tab and click the 'Add database user' button
I'm so sorry that this may seem obvious but, you have to remove this characters <> for the migration to work
In your example would look like this:
mongodb://dbuser:dbpassword#ds047124.mlab.com:47124/heroku_1ksph3jj
Check your mongo client version. If it is in older major version (probably 2.x), update it to 3.x
For future visitors - don't use special characters in password .Even if you change the special character to ascii or unicode it wont work for mLab using mongoose.
Also don't use mLab credential , use db user credentials . I created a new user.
Eg. For me a password containing # character was replaced with ascii value %40 in URI , which worked when using native mongodb driver.
But on using mongoose, i was always getting Authentication Failed .
I removed special characters and db was authenticated via mongoose.
It looks like it was the password that was incorrect, which I'm assuming was set up by Heroku's mLab add-on. There was no obvious way to reset this in the mLab UI, so in the end I created another database user (with a new username and password) and was able to connect with that just fine.
Just go to your Heroku dashboard and check your settings.
Under the name field there's a big button "Reveal Config Vars". Click it and you'll see a MONGODB_URI var with a uri to your db. It'll look something like this:
mongodb://heroku_user:PASSWORDyourLOOKINGfor#ds2238985.mlab.com:63295/heroku_user
Your password is right after the semicolon after the heroku user name.
I know I am too late, just for information.
For getting the info of mLab account that got auto created when mLab addon got added to the application in your heroku account, try the below command.
heroku config:get MONGODB_URI

I installed for the first time on my OS X CKAN (And is possible ive made some mistake). Now i want to play with the UI backend but when I go in "login" section it ask me for User/password
I'm using my postgres user and user's password for access it but it give me error.
If I list the db I can see my user there but when I login it say "user doesn't exist"
So which one is the CKAN Systemadmin access?
Reading in the docs it just say, you shoudl have create this user during installation process
you can run this paster command to create a sysadmin user:
paster --plugin=ckan sysadmin add <username> --config=/etc/ckan/development.ini
For more, see http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/maintaining/paster.html
