seeding prod db
I follow the instructions here https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/1464 to seed my db, but got the error:
I am able to connect to the db locally with db admin through the tunnel on port 5432, but when I try to run to connect through wasp I get the above error. I do not have wasp running a local dev db, so I am not sure what else I could check

Hi @prof_mark. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, it seems you're encountering a common issue when trying to seed a production database in Wasp. Let's go through some potential solutions and checks:
1. First, make sure you've set the correct
DATABASE_URL in your .env.server file. It should look like this:
Replace <password> and <db_name> with the correct values for your production database GitHub Issue #1464 (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/1464).
2. Ensure that you've opened the tunnel to your production database using:
Keep this terminal tab running while you're trying to connect GitHub Issue #1464 (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/1464).
3. Double-check that nothing else is running on port 5432. Even if you've killed the terminal running your local dev database, its Docker container might still be running in the background. Terminate any such containers if needed GitHub Issue #1464 (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/1464).
4. If you're sure that the tunnel is open and the DATABASE_URL is set correctly, try running wasp db studio again. If it connects (even if it throws errors upon trying to browse the tables), the connection is working GitHub Issue #1464 (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/1464).
5. If you're still getting the "Can not connect to database" error, it might be because Wasp is trying to check the database connection before executing the command. You could try running the seeding command directly:
This might bypass the initial connection check and attempt to seed the database directly GitHub Issue #1464 (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/1464).
6. If none of the above works, there might be an issue with how Wasp is detecting the database connection. This has been a known issue in the past GitHub Issue #1061 (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/1061).
Remember to remove the DATABASE_URL from your local .env.server file and close the tunnel when you're done to avoid accidentally modifying your production database later Discord support thread (https://discord.com/channels/686873244791210014/1220423321422663820).
If you're still encountering issues after trying these steps, it might be worth reaching out to the Wasp community on their Discord server for more specific troubleshooting.

Sorry @prof_mark, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist:
Perhaps try again in 15mins?I have done all of these. how are others seeding their prod db?
Have you tried using the connection string with something like DB Beaver to make sure that the connection string is correct?
i used it with pgadmin and was able to connect fine
Did you set the
DATABASE_URL in the .env.server properly? Could you share the connection string you are using - just remove the password 🙂
Thank you so much for the help also, this is the last step before I release my very first SaaS! Love wasp!
Could you maybe check if there is a Docker Postgres container running in the background?
@kapa.ai give me commands for Linux and MacOS to check what is running on port 5432?
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Certainly! Checking for running Docker containers and processes on port 5432 is a good troubleshooting step. Here are the commands you can use for both Linux and macOS to check what's running on port 5432:
For Linux:
For macOS:
These commands will show you any processes using port 5432 Discord support thread (https://discord.com/channels/686873244791210014/1223569423177089093).
To check for running Docker containers, you can use the following command on both Linux and macOS:
This will list all running Docker containers. Look for any containers running PostgreSQL or using port 5432 Discord support thread (https://discord.com/channels/686873244791210014/1223569423177089093).
If you want to check specifically for Wasp-related Docker containers, you can use:
This will filter the results to show only containers with "wasp" in their name.
Remember, even if you've closed the terminal where you ran
wasp db start, the Docker container might still be running in the background and occupying port 5432. If you find such a container, you may need to stop it before proceeding with your production database seeding GitHub Issue #1464 (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/1464).
If you find that port 5432 is indeed occupied by a local PostgreSQL instance or a Docker container, you'll need to stop it before you can successfully connect to your production database through the tunnel.
