access my admin view while logged in as my regular user ("guillaume")
instead of "postgres", I get the following error:OperationalError at /admin/ FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user "postgres" Request Method: GET Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ Django Version: 1.3.1 Exception Type: OperationalError Exception Value: FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user "postgres" Exception Location: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/db/backends/postgresql_psycopg2/base.py in _cursor, line 140 Python Executable: /usr/bin/python Python Version: 2.7.2 Python Path: ['/home/guillaume/moisiedarling', '/usr/lib/python2.7', '/usr/lib/python2.7/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-old', '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gst-0.10', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0', '/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntu-sso-client', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-client', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-control-panel', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-couch', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-installer', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-storage-protocol', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode'] Server time: Tue, 17 Apr 2012 01:46:23 -0500 On Tue, Apr 17, 2012 at 2:07 PM, Gchorn <guillaumech...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm not totally sure if this qualifies as a Django question, but it's > impeding my ability to make a website with Django so I thought I'd ask > here.
