My newly created db is not connecting.

Heya, @codewizardgenius

On top of what Bobby mentioned you can also check our docs on how to connect to a managed PostgreSQL database. As mentioned this might be an issue with the IP address not being whitelisted.

Hi there,

The error in the screenshot indicates that this could be caused by a couple of different reasons:

1. Use the Correct Database Port:

   • Ensure you are using the correct port specified by DigitalOcean for your managed PostgreSQL database. For PostgreSQL, the default port is typically 5432, but DigitalOcean might assign a different port for managed databases. You can find this information in your DigitalOcean control panel under the database’s settings.

2. Allow Your IP Address:

   • If you have enabled ‘Trusted Sources’ in your DigitalOcean database settings, make sure that your current IP address is allowed. If your IP address isn’t whitelisted, you won’t be able to establish a connection.
   • You can check your current IP address by visiting ifconfig.io from the computer you are trying to connect from.
   • Once you have your IP address, add it to the list of trusted sources in your DigitalOcean database settings.

3. Check Database Credentials:

   • Verify that you are using the correct credentials (username, password, database name) provided by DigitalOcean. These details are crucial for establishing a successful connection.

4. SSL Connection:

   • DigitalOcean Managed Databases requires SSL connections. Ensure your database connection string includes SSL parameters. You might also need to download and reference the CA certificate provided by DigitalOcean.

Let me know how it goes!

Best,

Bobby
