Digital ocean on Laravel Forge - Unable to load key (navicat) - digital-ocean

Im pulling my hair out with this one. I've managed to get a site running on Digital Ocean through Forge and also SSH into the server so I know that the SSH keys are setup correctly.
But when trying to connect via Navicat, I keep getting the error "Unable to load key". Does anyone know what this is in reference to or what the problem is.
regards

There is an answer from 2015 on Navicat forum, indicating there could be issue with ssh key support.
If you can connect via ssh, do an ssh tunnel to your server manually:
ssh -v servername -L 3306:127.0.0.1:3306 -N
Afterwards, you connect to remote mysql as it was on your localhost (you should not have one running on 3306, otherwise map to another local port)

AWS EC2 Instance Connection Refused in browser

I am somewhat new to this, so it's possible it's an obvious or dumb fix I have not thought of.
I have a EC2 instance I created with this AMI: ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-focal-20.04-amd64-server-20201026. I am using a 2020 Macbook Pro with Big Sur.
When I SSH into the server from my macbook's terminal, either via:
ssh -i FirstKeyPair.pem ubuntu#ec2-X-XX-XXX-XX.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com
or
ssh -i FirstKeyPair.pem ubuntu#X.XX.XXX.XX
I have no issues. To see if everything was working, I tried creating an index.html file in the root directory with nothing but hello world in it. I then ran PHP -s localhost:3000
However, when I try to navigate to my public IP X.XX.XXX.XX:3000, or `ec2-X-XX-XXX-XX.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com:3000 in my Chrome browser, I get "This site can’t be reached, X.XX.XXX.XX refused to connect, ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED".
I have checked my Security Groups and opened everything, so they look like this.
And the same is happening on my outbound rules. I checked that I don't have a firewall on my mac as well. How can I get my PHP server, or just that index.html file, to show up when I navigate to my IP in the browser?
You're running your server on localhost which means that it is not accessible on the normal network interfaces. Try php -S 0.0.0.0:3000 instead. This says to listen on all interfaces. But be careful - this is not a recommended configuration and you should look into putting a real web server (i.e. Apache, nginx, etc.) in front of it.

Unable to connect to server: PgAdmin 4

I have installed pgadmin on a new windows laptop and when I try to create a new server, it says:
When I try to run my django app in pycharm it is giving me the same error
could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061)
Is the server running on host "localhost" (127.0.0.1) and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
How to solve this ?
In case someone is running the pgadmin-4 in docker, and not able to connect to postgres container, like me.
The solution is to first find the ip at which the docker image is running.
Step-1, make sure the postgres container is running.
Step-2 write command- PS C:\docker> docker ps
Should result as below or similar,
Step3- in order to find the ip address running the postgres use part of container ID and analyze like below command
PS C:\docker> docker inspect fc834
Note: Here I have only used part of container id that is fc834..
This should result the following or similar,
Step4-
Use this ip address in the connection as below with your correct username and password
You may need to installing PostgreSQL Server first.
You can verify if the folder is created in the below folder,
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL
You can configurate your newly created server to run on localhost and port 5432.
First select the “Connection” tab in the “Create-Server” window. Then, configure the connection as follows:
Enter your server’s IP address in the “Hostname/ Address” field. Default is localhost.
Specify the “Port” as “5432”.
Enter the name of the database in the “Database Maintenance” field.
Enter your username as postgres and password (use the same password you used when previously configuring the server to accept remote connections) for the database.
Click “Save” to apply the configuration.
NOTE You first have to install PostgreSQL on your machine and run it or run it with docker.
I had the same issue. But in my case I had installed pgadmin in version 9. But also installed version 12 at the same time.
When I now uninstalled version 9, the port was already set in the config of version 12 and not given free.
So my solution was to change the port of version 12 in the postgresql.conf file. Or even simplier, change the port in the server creation from 5432 to 5433. Now you are able to create a server again.
You should uninstall Postgres and pgAdmin from your PC. Then install postgres, note that you have the option of installing pgAdmin together with Postgres, so you don't have to download pgAdmin separately. Allow the installation to complete then restart you PC. Hopefully you should be able to create your server/database
I was running postgress and pgadmin both using docker container.
sudo docker ps
sudo docker inspect <postgress_container_id>
Output:
"Networks": {
"work_file_default": {
"IPAMConfig": null,
"Links": null,
"Aliases": [
"postgres",
"578a7a1050d1"
],
"NetworkID": "49dbe9d7280b55e36afc4308469c1b55e051d7eea8f1c03f08728e652cf22b5b",
"EndpointID": "c30a642c5a0f2970147c9734cadfbe1e8d7c29fcba8a83a628b7c2b3db114716",
"Gateway": "172.18.0.1",
**"IPAddress": "172.18.0.4",**
"IPPrefixLen": 16,
"IPv6Gateway": "",
"GlobalIPv6Address": "",
"GlobalIPv6PrefixLen": 0,
"MacAddress": "02:42:ac:12:00:04",
"DriverOpts": null
}
Instead of localhost put the IP obtained from above command (172.18.0.4)
In my case was I got both pgadmin and postgresql services running in separate docker containers and I was trying to connect to localhost(127.0.0.1), which is cause of unable to connect to server error.
Note: 5438 port on my computer (host machine) was mapped to 5432 port of postgresql container.
so practically there are two solutions (if you have these services in separate containers and you have mapped postgresql port to your host machine ):
1-find out your local IP (mine is 192.168.1.106) and put it in the Host field.
2- you can put two containers(pgadmin and postgres) in one network (docker network)
and instead of your local IP, put postgres container IP in the Host field.
-Another tip that may help: what I've recently find out was if you are linux user and have ufw enabled, you should allow the port.
e.g. on my computer postgres is running on 5438 port, so I performed below command (so I could connect from pgadmin container to 5438 port of host wich postgres is running)
ufw allow 5438
Execute the container with the data Eg:
docker run --name postgresdb -e POSTGRES_USER=username -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password -e POSTGRES_DB=mydb -p 5432:5432 --restart always -d postgres
Then in the PGAdmin client in the Host Name/Address use:
host.docker.internal
Image Conn PGAdmin
I was trying to install PostgreSQL and pgAdmin with an installer that is given here https://www.postgresql.org/download/windows/. This installer includes the PostgreSQL server, pgAdmin;
I was facing an error while starting pgAdmin: "The pgAdmin 4 server could not be contacted". I tried different solutions but did not work.
Then I uninstalled both of them, deleted the temp folder C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\pgAdmin and delete those ones too %temp%.
Then I installed the pgAdmin separately from this link https://www.pgadmin.org/download/
and it works. If you need to connect it with your local server I think you should install the PostgreSQL server first and then pgAdmin separately.
I faced the same problem. So I uninstalled pgAdmin through control panel. after that deleted the folder where pgAdmin was located. Then I went to this link and installed pgadmin whole package from there and now it works fine.
I was getting this error when I was running pgadmin in a docker container on my machine, which meant that localhost:5432 was not accessible.
I worked around this by using the native version of pgadmin.
If you are running PostgreSQL in a docker container, set the host name in pgAdmin to postgres not the mapped address or localhost.
press win key+R then Search for services.msc A window will open in that find postgresql-x64-13 right click, in that tab click start option For me its works perfectly.

unable to connect to server for Postgres
how I solved this problem in ubuntu 22.04
I didn't have a password set in Postgres, that's why the error occurred 'unable to connect server 127.0.0.0 port 5432
Open the terminal in ubuntu and enter this command;
sudo -u postgres psql
Run the statement to add new password. ALTER USER Postgres PASSWORD 'AddNewPasswordHere'; in '' you should enter your new password
Example:
1)sudo -u postgres psql
2)ALTER USER postgres PASSWORD 'mynewpassword'
3)sudo service postgresql restart
4)Then you can create a server in pgadmin
If you already tried with “127.0.0.1” and it didn’t work then use “localhost”
After two years i think this would be of good help to so many people.
You don't have to uninstall postgresql or PGADMIN from your system.
What you need to do i input the username and password for a particular user created on postgresql into the server input box.
And that all you need.
i hope this helps anyone

Amazon EC2 instance:Server refused our key

Amazon EC2 instance: Server refused our key while using amazon server as well as Ubuntu server.please help me how to resolve this issue. i am very new to AWS services..i have strucked from 2 days ..please help me get out this.
You have to edit this file in the ubuntu server
cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config
...
PubkeyAuthentication yes
PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes=+ssh-rsa
What is the error you are getting ! Try
$chmod 400 key.pem
and then try to ssh using
$ ssh -i key.pem ubuntu#IPAddress
Another mistake which people generally make is using right user. If your server is ubuntu; then user name should be ubuntu; else try user ec2-user
If you are re-using a connection configuration in putty you were using previously to connect to a different ec2 instance of a different type, make sure you change the name (located in Connection -> Data) to ubuntu

SSH tunnelling to a remote server with django

I'm trying to set up an SSH tunnel to access my server (currently an ubuntu 16.04 VM on Azure) to set up safe access to my django applications running on it.
I was able to imitate the production environment with Apache WSGI and it works pretty good but since I'm trying to develop the application I don't want to make it available to broader public right now - but to make it visible only for a bunch of people.
To the point: when I set up the ssh tunnel using putty on Windows 10 (8000 to localhost:8000) and I run http://localhost:8000/ I get the folowing error:
"Not Found HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found.".
How can I make it work? I run the server using manage.py runserver 0:8000.
I found somewhere that the error may be due to the fact that the application does not have access to ssh files, but I don't know whether that's the point here (or how to change it).
Regards,
Dominik
After hours of trying I was able to solve the problem.
First of all, I made sure putty connects to the server and creates the desired tunnel. To do that I right-clicked on the putty window (title bar) and clicked event log. I checked the log and found the following error:
Local port 8000 forwarding to localhost:8000 failed: Network error:
Permission denied
I was able to solve it by choosing other local port (9000 instead of 8000 in my instance).
Second of all, I edited the sshd_config file: sudo vi etc/ssh/sshd_config
and added these three lines:
AllowAgentForwarding yes
AllowTcpForwarding yes
GatewayPorts yes
I saved the file and restarted the ssh service:
sudo service ssh stop
sudo service ssh start
Now when I visit localhost:9000 everything works just fine.

How to connect to server with only username and public ssh key?

I want to use a batch file to connect to a amazon server by using the ssh private or public key.
I have tried
open sftp://user:password#example.com/ -hostkey="ssh-rsa 2048 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx"
psftp fred#server.example.com
in the script but I am not able to connect to the server. I am getting this error.
disconnected no supported authentication methods available (server sent publickey)
I am able to connect it from putty. I want a batch file to connect to the server and restart the django project in that.
If I am able to connect then I just need to go the path of my django project and run the command
manage.py runserver
ssh -i PrivateKey.pem username#server.example.com
