I've got a postgres database hosted on Digital Ocean. On a server, I use the below R code without error and am able to connect. However, on my local machine (Mac, M1, 11.2.3) I get an error. Any ideas?
library(DBI)
library(RPostgres)
library(dbplyr)
library(dbx)
con <- dbxConnect(adapter = "postgres",
host = "db-postgresql-XXX.ondigitalocean.com",
port = 11111,
dbname = "XXXX",
user = "XXXX",
password = "XXXXX")
The error I get is:
Error: FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "XXX", user "XXXX", database "XXXX", SSL off
p.s. I've replaced sensitive stuff in the above with XXX etc.
That is often a sign that you do are being barred from access by Postgres configurations.
You need to add your IP address to the pg_hba.conf file (or your administrator does) and label it as trusted. Once this is done, you will likely not have that problem.
It is a security feature.
The is a problem with the newest version of the RPostgres library. Downgrading worked for me:
install.packages("RPostgres", repos = "https://r-dbi.r-universe.dev")

I am running into
Error: could not receive data from server: Software caused connection abort (0x00002745/10053)
upon trying to connect to a postgres database using the DBI package in R. Note that i am in a work environment, so subject to a corporate firewall. Can that explain the error or is there something else that could be happening?
Here is the code I'm using
# Connect to trayaway dev
con <- DBI::dbConnect(
RPostgres::Postgres(),
host = host, port = 5432, dbname = "postgres",
user = user, password = password
)
error below:
Error: could not receive data from server: Software caused connection abort (0x00002745/10053)
solution was found- i tried the same code using wiFi and the code works - when hardwired, connection string fails to connect to database - so this is a corporate firewall issue - thank you,
I have an ec2 instance set up with my shiny app and my postgresql database, I want to get the shiny-app to read from the database
If I type psql and \conninfo while ssh-ed into my instance I get
You are connected to database "ubuntu" as user "ubuntu" via socket in "/var/run/postgresql" at port "5432".
When I use R in the ec2 command line and type the following, I can read from my database no problem!
drv <- dbDriver("PostgreSQL")
con <- dbConnect(drv, dbname = "ubuntu", host = "/var/run/postgresql", port = 5432, user = "ubuntu", password = pw)
However, when I put these same lines in my shiny app.R file I get
Error in postgresqlNewConnection(drv, ...) :
RS-DBI driver: (could not connect ubuntu#/var/run/postgresql:5432 on dbname "ubuntu": FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user "ubuntu")
I've tried so many different values for host like
host = "localhost"
host = "my ec2 public ip address"
host = "127.0.0.1"
for example and nothing has been working.
my security group for this ec2 instance has an inboud connection to port 5432.
could this be it: why is one file green and the other pink? the green one is the one that works (local) and the pink one is on my instance
Finally figured it out.. this is the same problem as Getting error: Peer authentication failed for user "postgres", when trying to get pgsql working with rails
except that I was getting a different error for the same underlying problem.
the answer that worked for me is the second one:
1.
nano /etc/postgresql/9.x/main/pg_hba.conf
change peer in this line
local all postgres peer
to
local all postgres trust
Restart the server
sudo service postgresql restart
Login into psql and set your password
psql -U postgres
ALTER USER postgres with password 'your-pass';
Finally change the pg_hba.conf from
local all postgres trust
to
local all postgres md5
and that finally worked
I'm trying to connect R with my MariaDB instance (10.0 - Amazon RDS). Connection works fine in HeidiSQL. Both in R and ODBC drivers installation (direct and indirect), next error is prompted:
Error in .local(drv, ...) :
Failed to connect to database: Error: Access denied for user 'user'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
My account is the admin account of this instance, I used the following code:
library(RMySQL)
mySqlCreds <- list(dbhostname = "dbname.rds.amazonaws.com" , dbname="dbnamefull" , username = "user",pass = "secret", port = 3306)
drv <- dbDriver("MySQL")
dbConnect(drv, host=mySqlCreds$dbhostname, dbname=mySqlCreds$dbname, user=mySqlCreds$username, password=mySqlCreds$pass, port = mySqlCreds$port)
Same problem while connecting an ODBC driver in Windows to this instance- finds database, but again no access. Even after modifying instance parameter groups in aws console, log_bin_trust_function_creators to 1, and rebooting the database.
If you know how to solve this issue, please let me know! Thank you in advance!
I'm running a Postgres-9.4 server that I would like to require SSL for. When I connect to the Postgres server from my laptop with either pgadmin or windows odbc connection, it works with SSL. However when I try to connect with R using SSL it fails.
library(RPostgreSQL)
drv <- dbDriver("PostgreSQL")
con <- dbConnect(drv,
user = "postgres",
password = mypasswd,
dbname = "dbname=postgres sslmode=prefer",
host = "192.168.1.179")
If I set my pg_hba.conf to allow non-ssl connections then this will work. When I set it to only allow SSL connections then this will fail. Unfortunately dbConnect doesn't have a verbose option so I don't get anything more than could not connect postgres#192.168.1.179 on dbname "postgres"
I found this question which seems to suggest I'm doing the right thing but, no go.
Edit:
I did some more digging and found this discussion which suggests that this won't work on windows due to various library/dll issues. That discussion is a few years old at this point so perhaps it has been resolved. I can confirm that doing the above from linux does work.
My understanding of the problem is that RPostgreSQL uses a client that doesn't support SSL.
I switched to the package RPostgres and got it to work. I first installed RPostgres with install.packages('RPostgres') then used this package to connect with sslmode="require".
library('RPostgres') #Instead of library('RPostgreSQL')
con <- dbConnect(RPostgres::Postgres(),
user = "postgres",
password = mypasswd,
dbname = "postgres",
host = "192.168.1.179",
sslmode = "require")
)
I am making the move from RSQLite to RMySQL and I am confused by the user and password fields. FWIW, I'm running Windows 7, R 2.12.2, MySQL 5.5 (all 64 bit), and RMySQL 0.7-5.
I installed RMySQL as prescribed in this previous SO question, and as far as I know it works (i.e., I can load the package with library(RMySQL)). But when I try to run the tutorial from the R data import guide, I get a "failed to connect to database..." error. This is the code from the tutorial from the guide:
library(RMySQL) # will load DBI as well
## open a connection to a MySQL database
con <- dbConnect(dbDriver("MySQL"), user = "root", password = "root", dbname = "pookas")
## list the tables in the database
dbListTables(con)
## load a data frame into the database, deleting any existing copy
data(USArrests)
dbWriteTable(con, "arrests", USArrests, overwrite = TRUE)
dbListTables(con)
## get the whole table
dbReadTable(con, "arrests")
## Select from the loaded table
dbGetQuery(con, paste("select row_names, Murder from arrests",
"where Rape > 30 order by Murder"))
dbRemoveTable(con, "arrests")
dbDisconnect(con)
On the second line I get the following error:
> con <- dbConnect(dbDriver("MySQL"), user = "richard", password = "root", dbname = "pookas")
Error in mysqlNewConnection(drv, ...) :
RS-DBI driver: (Failed to connect to database: Error: Access denied for user 'richard'#'localhost' (using password: NO)
)
I have tried with and without user and password and with admin as user. I have also tried using a dbname that I made before with the command line and with one that doesn't exist.
Any tips? Is there a good reference here? Thanks!
That is most likely a setup issue on the server side. Make sure that networked access is enabled.
Also, a local test with the command-line client is not equivalent as that typically uses sockets. The mysql server logs may be helpful.
First try to connect to MySQL server using MySQL Workbench or command line mysql using the same parameter. If it connects then R should also be able to connect.
Typically this issue comes when MySQL server doesn't allow connections from remote machines.
As people have told you, you can try to connect to the host with other application as mysql workbench. How odd! When I have tried in RStudio to connect to my db with your code without indicate the host in the command I haven't been able to connect.
I have needed to indicate the host ( host = 'localhost' ) in the command.
