Problem starting the app

[azzamsa]

I've followed the setup steps, but still have problem.

1. I've installed diesel
2. executed ./scripts/init_db.sh

But I get error massage "app can't connect to port ", so I made changes:

modified   configuration/development.yml
@@ -1,4 +1,4 @@
 application:
   host: localhost
 database:
-  port: 5433
+  port: 5432

Now I get this message:

the default password defined by init_db.sh should be "password". But why this error happend?

I works after I changed the default password. This is my all diff.

now still looking for correct endpoints :)

The app is running well:

but endpoints not found: (maybe I need to search the correct path)

Thanks - it's not clear why the password would matter, but I'll run through the steps on a clean checkout to ensure it works as described. It may be more likely that the port was the issue, which is different between test / development dbs - the readme does include setting the env var to set this, e.g. POSTGRES_PORT=5433 ./scripts/init_db.sh for running in dev mode.

Also, your URL doesn't look right - routes are scoped under /api/, so try /api/users/. The realworld test suit passes for all routes if run as per the readme.

Oh, I don't see the /api/ in the postman collections. Solved, thanks.
