I am hoping someone can help, when creating the database for MusicBrainz clean install i get peer authentication. i am hoping for some guidance on this.
musicbrainz@musicbrainz-VirtualBox:~/musicbrainz-server$ ./admin/InitDb.pl --createdb --clean

I am wondering if the PSQL version is not reporting the same anymore (hopefully someone can answer this?) and the InitDB.pl script needs to be rewritten to work with that?
my question was moved to the dev section and has had no further response.
Have you set up peer authentication for the musicbrainz OS user?
This would allow you to login to the database as the administrator without specifying a username and password.
The postgres os user has this set up so if you run InitDb.pl it will connect to the database as the administrator user.
From memory you can specify a username, password, hostname and port when running InitDB.pl and setting up the database.
I guess you mean the entries to pg_hba.conf and pg_ident.conf. Yes I did, although the INSTALL.md says Note: The order of lines is important! without specifying, what order. The default pg_hba.conf comes with some entries. So where does the line I have to add has to be placed, at the end or the beginning? I tried both without success.
So I have an OS user musicbrainz, which I assume is also the www-user since he starts plackup -Ilib -r later.
My pg_hba.conf looks like this
# Database administrative login by Unix domain socket
local all postgres peer
# TYPE DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local all all peer
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::1/128 md5
# Allow replication connections from localhost, by a user with the
# replication privilege.
#local replication postgres peer
#host replication postgres 127.0.0.1/32 md5
#host replication postgres ::1/128 md5
local musicbrainz_db musicbrainz ident map=mb_map
and pg_ident.conf contains this line mb_map musicbrainz musicbrainz
But when I run ~/musicbrainz-server$ ./admin/InitDb.pl --createdb --import ../mbdump*.tar.bz2 --echo
I’m getting

You need to create a musicbrainz postgres user.
Login as the postgres os account with sudo and use the createuser command.
sudo su - postgres
createuser -s musicbrainz
Note this needs to be a superuser when you create the database so you need the -s.
I would revoke this once you are done creating the database,
I already created the database user musicbrainz, but not as superuser. Why is none of this written in the documentation?
createuser -s musicbrainz doesn’t ask for a password. Is this correct? Either way, with or without password set to ‘musicbrainz’ I got the same error.
I purged postgresql and started over. Now I put local all all trust at the beginning of pg_hba.conf, restarted postgresql and now it started importing the db_dump. I got a few errors
Error loading /tmp/MBImport-QjFqPM6y/mbdump/tag: 22001 DBD::Pg::db pg_putcopyend failed: ERROR: value too long for type character varying(255)
all of them have some chinese or arabic characters in the column comment.
I also got some errors No data file found for 'alternative_medium', skipping
which I guess are for the dumps I didn’t downloaded.
At the end of the import it says
Mon May 29 13:34:24 2017 : ensuring editor information is present
Mon May 29 13:34:25 2017 : import finished
Loaded 186 tables (107844696 rows) in 677 seconds
Failed to import dataset.
Mon May 29 13:34:26 2017 : InitDb.pl failed
Is it safe to ignore these errors? I’m asking, because I can’t access the web page after running
plackup -Ilib -r
Hi,
There’s a known error in one of the versions of the libraries that we’re using in the musicbrainz server.
We’re working on a solution, but until then you can manually install a different version by running
You should be able to perform the import after this.
It’s not a problem that you get the messages for No data file found for 'alternative_medium', skipping, you’re correct that they appear because you didn’t download the data files for these tables.
Actually, I’m pretty sure the alternative_medium one is specifically because there are still no “alternative mediums” in the database at all, as we’re waiting on a UI to add/edit those (they’ve been part of the database since the 2016 schema change, but for a number of reasons, there haven’t been resources available to finalise this).
Hi, i was looking into MBS-10470 and i was getting the same error i.e Peer authentication failed for user “postgres”.
I tried running cpanm TURNSTEP/DBD-Pg-3.5.3.tar.gz to fix it but it fails to install. Ive attached the error message below. Any tips on what can be done?
