--------------------------------------------------------------- I´m using Zope 2.3.2, PostgreSQL 7.1.2 and psycopg 0.99.2. Opening a database connection works well. I used the connection string: dbname=web Unfortunately if I want to test the connection using select * from testtable ; I get Error Type: ProgrammingError Error Value: ERROR: mitarbeiter: Permission denied. select * from testtable ; Looking at /var/log/postgres.log I see the following entries: 2001-06-19 14:05:24 [22300] DEBUG: connection: host=[local] user=www-data database=web 2001-06-19 14:05:43 [22300] ERROR: testtable: Permission denied. where www-data is the user which runs apache and zope on a Debian system. I made sure in psql: web=# grant all on testtable to "web-data" ; CHANGE ------------------------------------------------------------------------- if you gave to zope a connection string like: dbname=web user=www-data try to do: dbname=web user="www-data" if i remember correctly postgresql has problems with www-data without quotes around the name. this is clearly a psycopg (not zpsycopgda) problem, so try to debug it from python running interactively the follwing code: import psycopg o = psycopg.connect('dbname=web user="www-data"') # note quotes c = o.cursor() c.execute('select * from testtable') hope this helps, federico -- Federico Di Gregorio MIXAD LIVE Chief of Research & Technology fog@mixadlive.com Debian GNU/Linux Developer & Italian Press Contact fog@debian.org The devil speaks truth much oftener than he's deemed.
