No password Supplied, but no changes made - ruby-on-rails

I just opened an app I haven't worked on in a while to get back to work. When I tried opening the app in the browser on my local machine, I get this error PG::ConnectionBad (fe_sendauth: no password supplied):. I haven't messed with it lately, so I'm not sure what might have broken. Here's my database.yml (just default rails created verbage)
default: &default
adapter: postgresql
encoding: unicode
# For details on connection pooling, see rails configuration guide
# http://guides.rubyonrails.org/configuring.html#database-pooling
pool: 5
host: localhost
development:
<<: *default
database: project2_development
Any ideas what might have broken? Like I said, I haven't changed anything recently with this app, so I'm not sure what's going on.

The error clearly shows that postgresql the password you have not supplied, and after successful installation of gem 'pg'
perform the following,
sudo -i -u postgres
you will be as a user of postgres eg:- postgres#user >
psql
you will login in postgresql console
alter user user_name with password 'new_password';
will change the password as provided
\q
exit the psql console
change the database.yml as
username: 'postgres
password: 'new_password'
rake db:create
now try to create the database from rails
Should work !

How to fix the "Role doesn't exist" error?

I just created a new Ruby on rails project using this, in order to deploy it with Heroku
rails new -d postgresql LG_1
Then I used rails s to run my server and found this error :
role "esteban" does not exist.
I've been looking for solutions for an hour, but none of them worked. Using createuser just gives me the does-not-exist error, and I'm not very comfortable with Rails.
The versions I'm using :
Ruby 2.4.4
Rails 5.2.3
Pg (gem) 1.1.4
Here is my database.yml file (without the 75 lines of comments) :
default: &default
adapter: postgresql
encoding: unicode
host: /var/run/postgresql
pool: <%= ENV.fetch("RAILS_MAX_THREADS") { 5 } %>
development:
<<: *default
database: LG_1_development
test:
<<: *default
database: LG_1_test
production:
<<: *default
database: LG_1_production
username: LG_1
password: <%= ENV['LG_1_DATABASE_PASSWORD'] %>
I did not edit this file.
EDIT : I found the solution. I had to open the pg_hba.conf file and manually add a new user called "esteban"
Did you install new Gem for project?
If you did I think what you didn't database migration.
Please run following commands.
$heroku run rake db:migrate
$heroku ps:scale web=1
$heroku ps
$heroku open
I guess esteban is the user name on your local machine and because you dont set specific username and password in database.yml for development mode postgres uses username of your user when trying to open connection to database.
Create role esteban in postgres:
# go to psql console under default postgres user
psql postgres
# create role
create role esteban SUPERUSER LOGIN;
# exit psql
\q
Or set correct one in database.yml if you already have it

fe_sendauth: no password supplied error after setting up PostgreSQL database on Cloud9 IDE

So I've set up a PostgreSQL database on my cloud9 IDE account according to the instructions of the top voted comment: Cloud9 postgres.
This is what my database.yml file looks like:
default: &default
adapter: postgresql
encoding: unicode
pool: 5
username: <%= ENV['USERNAME'] %>
password: <%= ENV['PASSWORD'] %>
host: <%= ENV['IP'] %>
development:
<<: *default
database: sample_app_development
test:
<<: *default
database: sample_app_test
production:
<<: *default
database: sample_app_production
I then created a user model, migrated it, and reloaded my app. However when I loaded the app on the local server using this command: rails server -b $IP -p $PORT on the cloud9 command line, I get the following error message: fe_sendauth: no password supplied error. I do not understand what is going wrong since I have created a superuser with a password and have included those in my database.yml file. The only thing I found was that this error can be fixed by changing the pg_hba.conf file to trust the local server. However I thought the whole point of creating a superuser and password in the Cloud9 IDE was so that you don't have to do this. Also Cloud9 doesn't give you access to the pg_hba.conf file.
You don't need to change the pg_hba.conf file.
Just type in these commands in the terminal:
$ source ~/.profile
$ rake db:create
$ rake db:migrate
Then restart the server normally.
I know you already ran the source ~/.profile command at the beginning of the instructions you mentioned (I have used the answer before and struggled with the same issue) but for some mysterious reason Cloud9 environment (I never had to to do any of this on my Mac) requires to manually source the '.profile' file again after doing the setup specified in those instructions (Cloud 9 just decides to be weird sometimes - like all machines... duh!). The second command creates the new pg database in your development environment with all the configuration from your pg gem and your database.yml file.
The final 'migrate' command might not be necessary but again for mysterious reasons I have also had database issues fixed after just running a 'rake db:migrate' (If I am correct it just updates your database to be able to use your Models or any new dummy data you might have added to your development environment).
Hope this helps.

Rails: fe_sendauth: no password supplied (PG::ConnectionBad) from Ruby, but ok in Rails

I'm having problems assessing a postgres database from straight ruby.
I've created a Postgres database using Rails
>rails new www --database=postgresql
using Rails 4.2.5 and Postgres is 9.4
It produces the following config/database.yml file.
default: &default
adapter: postgresql
encoding: unicode
pool: 5
development:
<<: *default
database: www_development
test:
<<: *default
database: www_test
production:
<<: *default
database: www_production
username: www
password: <%= ENV['WWW_DATABASE_PASSWORD'] %>
I can run rails server, db:drop, db:create and db:migrate fine.
I can also access the database fine with psql
>psql www_development
But when I run the following app.rb from a non Rails project directory, I get a fe_sendauth: no password supplied (PG::ConnectionBad) error message.
It's clearly not a Rails issue. I've either missed something in my ruby or Postgres need a tweek to handle some difference between Rails and pure Ruby [that I'm not aware off]. I've also included Postgres' pg_hba.conf file.
At wits end trying to figure this one out. Any help would be much appreciated.
app.rb
require 'yaml'
require 'active_record'
require 'pg'
ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
adapter: 'postgresql',
host: 'localhost',
database: 'www_development',
)
/etc/postgresql/9.4/main/pg_hba.conf
# TYPE DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD
local all postgres peer
local all all peer
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
host all all ::1/128 md5
You don't specify neither username, no password in your ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(. I assume you want to use some SUPERUSER without password for www_development database - right?
as per documentation peer auth does
Obtain the client's operating system user name from the operating
system and check if it matches the requested database user name.
That is why if you can psql without password, you should be able run app.rb with same OS user and environment without password. If you can't, then app.rb tries to connect with different username or so...
Options:
put username: postgres to ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
change local all all peer to local all all trust
With ENV variable as password it's very likely that the variable itself is not present. Confirm the presence with printenv. You need to relogin/reboot for the variable to be accessible after you've included it in /etc/environment file for example. If this works, it's probably better than changing pg_hba.conf.
development:
<<: *default
database: postgres
username: postgres
password: postgres
# must specify the right DB, superuser and superuser Password as per postgreSQL setup
This worked for me, the only changes I needed to make. (ok fine i re-installed pgsql with 12.1)
I had this same issue when setting up a Rails 6 application.
The issue was that when start the rails server using rails server, and try to view the application from a browser, I get the error below:
ActiveRecord::ConnectionNotEstablished
fe_sendauth: no password supplied
Here's how I solved it:
The issue was caused by me not specifying/supplying the database password to be used by the application, so when the application tries to connect to the database specified in the config/database.yml it runs into that error.
I solved it by specifying the database password for the application in the config/database.yml:
# The password associated with the postgres role (username).
password: my-password
Also, ensure that you've created the database for the application if you've not created it already using:
rails db:create
Afterwhich I restarted the rails server:
rails server
This time when I tried viewing the application from the browser, it worked fine.
That's all.
I hope this helps
I was trying to use peer authentication which shouldn't ask for the password.
For me the issue was that I was specifying localhost in the database.yml so that was forcing the database driver to try to make a different type of connection (e.g., tcp, named pipe, etc)
Removing the "host: 'localhost'" line from my config solved the problem for me per this other answer: ActiveRecord connection to a localhost postgresql database in trust mode
Note that in my case I'm using the 'peer' method and not the 'trust' method but the solution is the same

Cannot connect to Postgresql server, locally

I have a Rails app that has been using sqlite3 for the DB. Deployed to Heroku. Then find out that Heroku recommends switching to PostgreSQL. So now I'm trying to switch over without any luck. Was trying to use this Railscasts video for help.
I installed Homebrew. Installed PostgreSQL via Homebrew. After installation, there was no mention of creating a username or password for postgres.
I edited my Gemfile to
gem 'pg'
for both production and development and did bundle install.
I edited my database.yml file to this:
development:
adapter: postgresql
database: isement_dev
encoding: unicode
pool: 5
timeout: 5000
test:
adapter: postgresql
database: isement_test
encoding: unicode
pool: 5
timeout: 5000
production:
adapter: postgresql
database: isement_production
encoding: unicode
pool: 5
timeout: 5000
Like Ryan says to do in the video, I try this command:
rake db:create:all
Only to get this error:
could not connect to server: Permission denied
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/var/pgsql_socket/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
I do some more searching, and see that some tutorials show username and password included in the database.yml file. I then find out how to setup a user for Postgresql
After entering in the command $ createuser joe, I was never given the options that the docs say you'll be asked. Such as "Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n)" So really not sure if the user was created, but there wasn't any errors either.
So, I'm assuming, after creating the user "joe", I reedited my database.yml file to include the user field I just created:
development:
adapter: postgresql
database: isement_dev
encoding: unicode
pool: 5
timeout: 5000
username: joe
password:
test:
adapter: postgresql
database: isement_test
encoding: unicode
pool: 5
timeout: 5000
Only to still get the same error of not being able to connect.
I've ran the command
pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres -l /usr/local/var/postgres/server.log start
to make sure the server is running as well.
Just in case it's needed, when I run
which psql
I receive this:
/usr/local/bin/psql
Is there something that I'm missing? The "database name" part of the database.yml file. This is supposed to be a database already created somewhere, or does this file create the database when I run the rake db:create:all command? I'm assuming the latter, so the name of the database doesn't matter?
Lazy option: Add host: localhost to your database.yml.
Only slightly less lazy option: Uninstall and reinstall the pg gem.
What's going on here? There are a number of ways for Postgres to already exist on your system, and the pg gem will use their pg_config output and build for their needs if you install the gem before installing your own copy of Postgres.
In your case, it was built for the version included with some releases of Mac OS X, which uses a socket file at /var/pgsql_socket.
when you are installing Postgres via Homebrew it will add your username to postgres with an empty password.
Just open a command prompt and type
whoami
Then change your database.yml to your mac user name (whatever is returned from whoami) with empty password.
Maybe add host: localhost
to you database.yml

Mysql2::Error (Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: NO)):

Just setup a new rails 3.1.3 app using mysql (mysql2 gem) on CentOS 5 server / apache / passenger... I have correctly setup a database and a user for that database and I have added the login and info into my database.yml file... I can generate stuff, and rake db:migrate ok but the "We're sorry, but something went wrong." message is being rendered in the browser and this message is showing up in my production.log file!
Started GET "/" for xx.xxx.xx.xxx at 2011-12-29 19:52:35 -0600
Mysql2::Error (Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: NO)):
weird, I am not using "root" as the login info in database.yml... Any suggestions?
development:
adapter: mysql2
encoding: utf8
reconnect: false
database: the_db_I_made
pool: 5
username: the_user_I_made
password: the_password
socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
production:
adapter: mysql2
encoding: utf8
reconnect: false
database: the_db_I_made
pool: 5
username: the_user_I_made
password: the_password
socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
Bunch of questions / suggestions:
Can you connect to the database using the terminal?
mysql -u root -p
Also, have you tried this on development mode? If so, please share the results.
Try removing
socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
Is the gem installation correct?
gem check mysql2
EDIT:
There is a lot of difference in development and production mode ( including but not limited to, environment variables like the database connection string, asset pre-compilation, different level of logging, custom debug info on error pages )
** Embarrassing!!**
You have not included the "host" property in your config!
Try this:
production:
adapter: mysql2
encoding: utf8
reconnect: false
host: your_host #<----- normally localhost
database: the_db_I_made
pool: 5
username: the_user_I_made
password: the_password
socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
Ok, I guess this is all part of my learning curve :)
What it ended up being was this: The gem for passenger that I installed originally was version 3.0.9, I did a gem update --system and that installed version 3.0.11. So the server thought it was using version 3.0.11 and I was still pointing to libraries for 3.0.9 in my rails_server.conf file. I found how to upgrade on http://blog.phusion.nl/
In Ubuntu 1)/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation 2) Run in Terminal
follow the steps carefully change the mysql password
here.Everything done .then go to database.yml change the password
previously what u have created. Run rails server and check the
application .. it will works
Did you create the database "the_db_I_made"?
First create it, then only run it, else it will show this error continuously.
Now try to tun it.
For Me It was giving error because of no database. So i created one Using :
$ rake db:create
And the problem was solved :D
