Postgres Authentication Fails When Starting Dajngo
I am in the process of restoring my Django development server to another virtual machine. I have set up Django, Postgres, installed the GIS extensions and restored the database.
When I run the server, I get the error below:
password authentication failed for user "myuser"
With "myuser" I can connect to the Postgres database as that user with the same password specified in "mysettings.py" and create and drop tables so I don't understand why it is not connecting.
My settings.py looks like this:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.contrib.gis.db.backends.postgis',
'NAME': 'travel',
'USER': 'myuser',
'PASSWORD': 'Passw0rd',
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': '',
}
}
Can someone help? It doesn't make sense to me if I can log on as that user and create / drop tables.

It's hard to tell without a bit more information, but '' isn't a valid port number. You should probably use PostgreSQL's default port, 5432.

On other servers I haven't specified a port no. and it's been fine.

The previous user was a local user on the server which was linked to the postgres account so I don't understand why it didn't work in that case. Can anyone advise?
