Thread: Postgres SQLSTATE[08006] [7] timeout expired

Postgres SQLSTATE[08006] [7] timeout expired

From
Howard Wells
Date:
I have three servers behind a load balancer and a fourth server solely for Postgres 10 database that is not behind the load balancer.  All four are behind the same firewall, with port 5432 open. 

I have a simple browser-based html form to submit email addresses, usernames and passwords; the form submits through a jQuery program that calls a php program. 

I can navigate the browser to the IP address of the server that hosts the Postgres database and submit records to the database with no problems.  When I navigate to the site's URL (which goes through the load balancer), I always get "SQLSTATE[08006] [7] timeout expired" after a short delay -- in other words, no connection. 

The php program is very simple:

<?php
echo 'Hello ' . htmlspecialchars($_POST["firstname"]) . '!' ;
echo PHP_EOL;

$dsn = vsprintf('pgsql:host=%s;port=%s;dbname=%s;user=%s;password=%s', [
    'host' => 'xxx.xx.xx.xx',
    'port' => '5432',
    'dbname' => '[DBNAME]',
    'user' => '[USERNAME]',
    'password' => '[PASSWORD]',
]);

echo 'HTTP Referer ' . $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
echo PHP_EOL;

echo 'IP Address ' . $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];
echo PHP_EOL;

try{
// create a PostgreSQL database connection

  echo "I'm here now";
  echo PHP_EOL;

//ini_set("default_socket_timeout", 300);
$pdo = new PDO($dsn);
$pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_TIMEOUT, 300);

// display a message if connected to the PostgreSQL successfully
if($pdo){
echo "Connected to the database successfully!";
echo PHP_EOL;
}
}catch (PDOException $e){
// report error message
echo $e->getMessage();
exit();
}

$pdo = null;

?>

The echo messages are simply debugging progress messages for the browser's dev console. 

The pg_hba.conf has these lines enabled:

pg_hba.conf:
host    all             [username]   0.0.0.0/0               trust
host    all             all             0.0.0.0/0               md5
host    all             all              ::/0                   md5
host    all             all              all                    md5

The $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]; line shown in my PHP program above always comes back with the address of the load balancer. 

I'm new to Postgres, so any help with this connection problem will be very appreciated.  Thanks a lot.

Which load balancer and what are its configs?
Is this strictly accurate? "I can navigate the browser to the IP address of the server that hosts the Postgres
database”.i.e. Something is listening on port 80 of the database machine?  Or are you sending sql statements through
thefirewall directly to the db?

In addition to what Rob suggested, what do you see or not in the 
Postgres logs when you try the connections(both direct to db and to load 
balancer).

You can use strace or tcpdump to see what's happened. First check to see
did the balncer is up and port is opened. Next if the balancer is bind
on port 5432 and pgsql server is started on same ip without port to be
changed this can't be happened unless the pgsql server is started on
socket without inet connection. If the balancer is up and they are not
in the same server then it's seems the problem is between balancer and
sql server. The balancer is not connected to pg server with some reason
/firewall, permissions, users and so on, you need to check them -
balancer logs, firewall rules /.

I have enabled logging.  I chose the highest level of recording so I would have the best chance of finding out what's
wrong. My error log is written to a .csv file.  I initiated a browser-based transaction to insert records into a
database. That transaction produced 1,299 records, with what appear to be repeating blocks.  I don't see anything in
herethat specifically tells me why the client is not able to connect. 

The last 26 lines look like representative of the transaction blocks:

StartTransaction(1) name: unnamed; blockState: DEFAULT; state: INPROGR, xid/subid/cid: 0/1/0

My problem now is I don't know what to look for to find out why the client is not able to connect within the timeout
period. The dev console (Chrome) always ends with a display of the echo messages up to the lines: 

    $pdo = new PDO($dsn);
    $pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_TIMEOUT, 300);

And the final line is the Chrome dev console is SQLSTATE[08006] [7] timeout expired.

The load balancer is not the issue; if I point the browser to the IP address of one of the servers behind the load
balancer(bypassing the load balancer), the same thing happens.  Only when I go to the IP address of the server with the
Postgresdatabase will the transaction complete, and it happens quickly. 

Thanks for any tips on what to look for in the csv log file to explain why the browser-based PHP connection does not
complete

Huh? The client could not connect, but it produced 1299 records. You 
will need to be more specific or clear about what you consider a client 
and a connection?

To get to the bottom of this we will need:

1) The load balancer in use? I know you say below that the balancer is 
not at issue, but that remains to be seen in my mind.

2) How the balancer is set up.

3) What is the client?

4) What is the server?

5) How does the server connect to the database?

Thanks for the replies.  I am getting the information requested by Adrian Klaver.  Rob Sargent, I am going to temporary
enablefull trust because the password authentication could be the issue.  Then I'll write back.

I enabled "host  all all 0.0.0.0/0 trust" in pg_hba.conf and restarted Postgres, but I still get the same behavior.  It
lookslike password authentication is not the issue.  I enabled MD5, but I didn't know I would have to do anything else;
fromthis test, that doesn't seem to be the problem.  I'm getting the load balancer info.  Thanks again.

I solved this problem.  All four servers are behind a firewall, but port 5432 was not open on the firewall.  When I
opened5432, the problem disappeared. 

Thanks to Rob Sargent, Adrian Klaver and Condor for your help.

Glad you solved. Confused as to how:

1) From first post:
"All four are behind the same firewall, with port 5432 open."

2) A subsequent post:

"Only when I go to the IP address of the server with the Postgres 
database will the transaction complete, and it happens quickly."

On my first post, I asked the person in charge of the firewall if 5432 was open and he told me it was.   When I checked
itmyself later, I found out that it wasn't.  Before I post to this list again, I'll check all assumptions myself. 

"Only when I go to the IP address of the server with the Postgres database will the transaction complete, and it
happensquickly." 

My best guess is that when the IP address is also the address of the Postgres server, the firewall does not interfere.

I would have the sysadmin confirm what is actually going on, or you run 
the risk of being bitten by this again.
