Re: [Health] Gnu Health 2.8 Could not connect to local database server

[Maria Cecilia Santos Popper]

Chris, 

I can tell you I've experienced the same frustrating problem.

The issue is related with the postgreuser you are setting in the conig file.

Make sure this user has de appropriate password, with the following command

sudo su postgres
psql -U postgres -c "ALTER ROLE gnuhealth ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'gnuhealth' ;"

And make sure you are setting the same address@hidden in the config file.

That solved the problem for me.

Hi everybody,

I need some help to go over the "Could not connect to the server" error
for version 2.8.

I am able to install everything in Debian, Ubuntu and OpenSuSE 13.2. and
having done that I am able to get to the demo databases on the Internet.
My problem is with connecting to my local server and creating databases.
Earlier on, I was able to install the 2.6 version and make it work
locally.

I have read practically all the forum questions and solutions given like
for example in the case of Axel but I am still unable to get a local
connection. Is there an updated 'howto' that I can follow step by step?

I have been to the IRC channel but did not find anyone to chat with. I
have also written to the people in Kenya but the have not replied to my
mail.

Please guide me on what to do or is it wiser to abandon Gnuhealth for
something more user-friendly? Alternatively do you advise me to stick to
the older version until I can figure this out somehow?

My dilemma is that I am setting up the system for a hospital in Uganda
for real production work, not for mere study or testing and therefore it
has to work and be the best.

Thanks in advance.
