[ckan-dev] database connection error if database on a separate server

Tue May 16 09:24:35 UTC 2017

Thanks Karen. Your answer seems to have resolved my problem. That's how we changed the parameters in the Postgres configuration file. Just in case, anyone encounters the same problem.

tcp_keepalives_idle = 30 # TCP_KEEPIDLE
tcp_keepalives_interval = 30 # TCP_KEEPINTVL

Cheers
Hilde

Hi

We use a setup where postgres and solr are on a second server.
One thing to check is whether your web server and database server are
separated by a firewall.  In our case the firewall was silently dropping
the connection and CKAN didn't handle this and we would have to restart
all the processes.
The fix was to shorten the  keepalive in the Posgres configuration.

Cheers
 Karen
