Hi,

In the FME basic training I am trying to create a PostGIS connection for Exercise 4 'FME Hackathon' (page 430).

The Hackathon PostGIS Database should be located at postgis.train.safe.com, but I cannot get a connect with it using the given parameters (below). I followed the steps Tools -> Database Connections -> Add Database Connection.

Host: postgis.train.safe.com

 

Port: 5432

 

Database: fmedata

 

Username: fmedata

In the log window the following error appears:

Error connecting to PostgreSQL database(host='postgis.train.safe.com', port='5432', dbname='fmedata', user='fmedata', password='***'): 'server closed the connection unexpectedly

This probably means the server terminated abnormally

before or while processing the request.

'

Isn't the server online or am I doing something wrong?

My version is: FME Workbench 2017.1

Thanks,

Koen

Hi @koenrv.

What is the password you are trying. These connection parameters should work:

What version of the FME Desktop Basic training on you using? You should be able to find this information in the Introduction section at the start of the manual.

Are you trying to read from the PostGIS database? If yes, what table are you trying to read?

This worked for me. Thanks!
