I am installing odoo 9.  I have followed the instructions and installed the server without issue.  Now I can't seem to get the database connection going. For the database, I installed postgres and then did the following:

1. create user

> createuser --createdb --username postgres -h 127.0.0.1 --no-createrole --no-superuser --pwprompt odoo9

2. update pg_hba.conf

local all odoo9 md5

host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5

I can connect to the database on the command line 

> psql -U odoo9 -d db_addhaptics_odoo9

Password for user odoo9:

psql (9.3.11)

Type "help" for help.

db_addhaptics_odoo9=> 


I have updated the odoo config file to match the username and password.  But when I try to launch the site, I get the following in my odoo log:

2016-09-06 21:42:02,893 19282 INFO ? openerp.addons.bus.models.bus: Bus.loop listen imbus on db postgres

2016-09-06 21:42:02,897 19282 INFO ? openerp.sql_db: Connection to the database failed

self._cnx = pool.borrow(dsn)

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/psycopg2/__init__.py", line 179, in connect

connection_factory=connection_factory, async=async)

OperationalError: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "odoo9"


What am I doing wrong?

Hi Mike,

Change the db_host in config to 127.0.0.1 and see if solves it.

Hi Kinner,

Changing the db_host (and adding a corresponding host line in my pg_hba.conf) did the trick!

Thanks for the help!!!

As per Odoo's installation instruction the user must be a superuser:

https://www.odoo.com/documentation/9.0/setup/install.html#setup-install-source        

and the username to connect as should be Odoo9 and not postgres.
