[kforge-user] Can't connect to pg?

[tyju tiui]

OK, not only did I have to install psycopg2 for myself, I also had to change this line in "kforge/django/settings/main.py"

    DATABASE_ENGINE = 'postgresql'
To:
    DATABASE_ENGINE = 'postgresql_psycopg2'

Now I am up and running.

Hi,

I am trying to install the latest version of kforge on RHEL 5 64 bit with python 2.6.

> ./kforge-virtualenv --version
   0.18

But I can't seem to get connected to the database:

> kforge-admin db init
   kforge [CRITICAL] Database: Could not make a connection: Cannot find a PostgreSQL backend, tried psycopg
   Error: Couldn't init the domain data: Could not make a database connection (see system log for connection URI: /opt/kforge/var/log/kforge.log).

> cat /var/log/kforge.log
   [2010-03-22 18:58:06,802] Logger: Logging initialised.
   [2010-03-22 18:58:06,971] Database: Connecting to postgres://kforge:mypass123@localhost/kforge.
   [2010-03-22 18:58:06,972] Database: Could not make a connection: Cannot find a PostgreSQL backend, tried psycopg

The setup script runs OK and it appears the db is created successfully
> psql -U kforge

   kforge=# SELECT datname FROM pg_database;
     datname
   -----------
    postgres
    template1
    template0
    kforge
   (4 rows)
  
   kforge=# \dt
   No relations found.


I wrote a test script and it doesn't have any problems connecting:

   import psycopg2
  
   try:
       conn = psycopg2.connect("dbname='kforge' user='kforge' host='localhost' password='mypass123'");
   except Exception, e:
       print e

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ty
