Postgresql connection problems

Forgive me for asking a trivial question on this list, but being new
to Ruby/Ruby on Rails, I’m not sure where to start…

I’m trying to connect to a postgresql server:

My database.yml contains:

test_test:
adapter: postgresql
database: test_test
username: testuser
password: resutest
host: testpgserver
port: 5432
encoding: UTF8
min_messages: warning

The database is setup and talking with Java and Perl from the same
client as I’m trying to use Ruby on Rails on.

The command

ruby script/generate scaffold Product Admin

produces

--------------error--------------

running interactively using irb I have no problems connecting and
talking to the db.

irb(main):018:0> require “postgres”
=> true
conn=PGconn.connect(“testpgserver”,5432,"","",“test_test”,“testuser”,“resutest”)
=> #PGconn:0x2aaaab567ae8

Please help!

I’m trying to connect to a postgresql server:

My database.yml contains:

test_test:

Replace test_test with either development, test or production.

adapter: postgresql
database: test_test
username: testuser
password: resutest
host: testpgserver
port: 5432

If you use default this one is not needed.

Can you connect to the same database via psql?

Thanks very much Claus,

I discovered my error soon after I sent the “help me” email, but am
grateful
for your quick response anyway.

Thanks again,
