I made the port number 6389 everywhere. I changed the permissions of
the pgbouncer.log to:
chown pgbouncer:postgres /var/log/pgbouncer.log
Now at least the service starts. But when I try and connect via the
pgbouncer ID:
psql -p 6389 -U snipurl_snipurl snipurl
I get this error:
psql: ERROR: No such user: MYSITE_MYSITE
And yet, the authfile has this:
"MYSITE_MYSITE" "<md5 of raw password>"
"MYSITE_MYSITE" "<raw password>"
"postgres" "<md5 of string>"
"MYSITE_pgbouncer" ""
The authfile permissions are:
283377983 -rw-r--r-- 1 pgbouncer postgres 262 Apr 14 11:15
/var/lib/pgsql/pgbouncer.txt
What else?
