node server can't connect to postgres db

Question

I recently switched from MySQL to postgres as my database for an node.js project. While I\'m able to reach my remote postgres database from my local pgAdmin III (OSX) client

Answer 1

The interface in node.js that I used can be found here https://github.com/brianc/node-postgres

var pg = require('pg');
var conString = "postgres://YourUserName:YourPassword@localhost:5432/YourDatabase";

try changing pg:// to postgres://
