Etherpad authentication failed with postgres

See original GitHub issue

Hello friends,

My friend installed Ubuntu 16.10 on his system and we are having problem with getting etherpad working with Postgresql. Postgresql version 9.4 and 9.5 we tried, but no luck. We keep getting the error below.


events.js:160
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

error: password authentication failed for user "postgres"
    at Connection.parseE (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/etherpad-lite/src/node_modules/pg/lib/connection.js:534:11)
    at Connection.parseMessage (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/etherpad-lite/src/node_modules/pg/lib/connection.js:361:17)
    at Socket.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/etherpad-lite/src/node_modules/pg/lib/connection.js:105:22)
    at emitOne (events.js:96:13)
    at Socket.emit (events.js:188:7)
    at readableAddChunk (_stream_readable.js:176:18)
    at Socket.Readable.push (_stream_readable.js:134:10)
    at TCP.onread (net.js:551:20)

Our settings.json part 👍

  "dbType" : "postgres",
  "dbSettings" : {
		  "user"    : "postgres",
                    "host"    : "localhost",
                    "password": "PASSWORD",
                    "database": "DBNAME",
                    "charset" : "utf8mb4"

                 },

The password is correct, as our applications are able to connect with the DB with same password, but etherpad cannot,. Tried installing, unisntalling etherpad as well, no luck. What are we doing wrong?m

I had the same output. The issue was brianc/node-postgres#1000 and I was able to fix it like it was mentioned in that issue: brianc/node-postgres@77560fe

I was wrong, ueberdb2 needs to update their dependency too.

See: https://github.com/Pita/ueberDB/pull/93
