Unable to tunnel to production db
I set my databse_URL to my production db following the instructions here: https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/1464 and when running wasb db studio I get this error, "The database needs to be running in order to execute this command. You can easily start a managed dev database with

Hi @haarismian. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
The error message you're seeing typically appears when the Wasp CLI is unable to connect to the database. In your case, it seems like the connection to your production database is not established correctly.
Here are a few things you can check:
1. Ensure the tunnel to your production database is open: According to the instructions in the Github issue (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/1464) you followed, you need to open a tunnel to your production database using the command
fly proxy 5432 -a <db-name>. Make sure this command is running in a terminal tab and that the tunnel is open.
2. Check your DATABASE_URL: The error might be due to an incorrect DATABASE_URL in your .env.server file. Make sure the DATABASE_URL is set correctly with the right password and database name.
3. Check if something else is running on port 5432: Ensure that nothing else is running on port 5432, which is the default port for PostgreSQL. If you have a local dev database running (which you may have started with wasp db start), it might be occupying port 5432. You need to ensure that this is not happening and terminate that container if needed.
4. Test the connection: You can test the connection by running wasp db studio. If it connects, the connection works. If it fails to connect at all, it might be that the value in DATABASE_URL is incorrect or that something else is running already on the port 5432.
If you've checked all of these and you're still having issues, it might be helpful to share more details about the error message you're seeing or any other relevant information.

The error message you're seeing is because Wasp has detected that you have defined a
DATABASE_URL in your .env.server file. This is expected when you're trying to connect to a production database, as you've set up a tunnel to your production database.
However, when you run wasp start db, Wasp tries to start a managed dev database. Since you've already defined a DATABASE_URL, Wasp assumes you're using a custom database and doesn't start the dev database.
Here's what you can do:
1. If you want to connect to your production database, you don't need to run wasp start db. Instead, you can test the connection to your production database by running wasp db studio. If it connects, the connection works. If it fails to connect at all, it might be that the value in DATABASE_URL is incorrect or that something else is running already on the port 5432.
2. If you want to start a managed dev database, you need to remove the DATABASE_URL from your .env.server file first. After removing it, you can run wasp start db to start the dev database.
Remember to be careful when connected to your production database, as any commands you execute will affect your live data.
For more details, you can refer to the Github issue (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/1464) you followed.

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The error message you're seeing suggests that there's an issue with renaming a file in your cache directory. This could be due to a number of reasons such as file permissions, the file being in use by another process, or the file not existing at the time of the rename operation.
Here are a few things you can try to resolve this issue:
1. Clear the cache: The error message indicates an issue with a file in the cache directory. You can try clearing the cache by deleting the contents of the directory
/Users/haarismian/Library/Caches/checkpoint-nodejs/.
2. Check file permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to read and write to the cache directory and its contents. You can change the permissions using the chmod command in your terminal.
3. Restart your system: Sometimes, a simple system restart can help resolve issues related to file operations.
If none of these solutions work, this might be a bug in Wasp. In that case, I would recommend creating a new issue in the Wasp Github repository (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues) detailing the problem and the steps you've taken to resolve it. The Wasp team or the community might be able to provide further assistance.
