database wont change on DNS server when changing the connection string - string

so i have a DNS server with my code running on it. when first depolyed the server it was running with a free cluster from mongodb but now i changed the free cluster to a mongodb running on the DNS server. i changed the connection string and it works locally just fine. but when pulling the changes with SSH to my DNS server it still takes the data from the old free cluster although notihng inthe code points into it. i have tried to check if changes are happening when pulling from ssh and they are. just the database connection stay with the old one. what could be the problem? should i restart the server or some service?

Cannot connect to SQL Server database on Nodejs EC2 server

I have an EC2 instance running a node server. The pages and routes render fine on the frontend, but when I do anything that requires a call to the api it says failed to connect to XX.XX.X.XXX:1433 (which is my SQL Server database). When I run the app locally (not inside the EC2 instance) it works just fine and connects to the DB. Btw, my local computer is NOT where the SQL Server database is being hosted.
What could the issue be on the instance?
EDIT: TCP is enabled and the Browser part is running in the SQL manager.
EDIT2:This is the error I get every time my EC2 app makes an api call to te database:
ConnectionError: Failed to connect to XX.XX.X.XXX:1433 in 15000ms
But when I do the dame thing on the app from its development computer on localhost it works just fine.
Ok, so, it looks like this is a network connectivity problem. Can you ping the DB server?
ping xx.xx.xx.xx
Second, can you telnet to the port?
telnet xx.xx.xx.xx 1433
My guess is that both of these will fail. So, the question is, why?
Some things to consider:
Is the database server on the public internet? (I hope not, for security reasons.)
Is your client computer on the public internet?
What is the network access path to get from your client machine to the DB server? VPN tunnel? SSLVPN connection? Something else?
I don't have a specific solution for you, but hopefully I gave you some ideas as to where to look. The problem is (almost certainly) not a database problem, but a network connectivity issue.

Basic question about postgresql configuration

I just installed the new version of Elementary OS and I lost the configuration that makes work my Postgresql.
I have an app that works perfectly online with a remote DB on Heroku, but when I run that on my local machine I can't reach the server. I think I miss something in the pg_hba.conf because I have all services up and running and all ports open for the DB. Actually I have this config file
# 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 all peer
host replication all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
host replication all ::1/128 md5
host all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5
host all all ::/0 md5
I hope you can give me a way to contact my DB. In the last installation, I was able to, but I lost the config file.
Hello and thanks for the replies. I read the docs that says just how to connect to local service or configure a server that runs on a machine. I did all the steps before (just in case): user add, configuration of the local DB, giving admin user to the DB etc.
This line (the last)
host all all ::/0 md5
Is the one the docs say to add, but it is working for DB calls on the same machine.
I take web monitors, scanned ports and whatever I could see on linux system: ports for Postgresql are open, service runs, seems all fine. DB is reachable via PGAdmin, same credentials in the app. App is a NodeJS that calls the DB for an interactive website.
For those reasons I believe that should be a configuration problem. I have also no active firewall, no other rules than the actual config file for postgresql.
As I write the app works perfectly when it is on local or when it is all on the server. I need to have a cross config for development to have quick way to work on the actual online DB and a local copy (editable) of the web app. Or permit more people to develop at same time from different machines.
There is no error, just the app can't go online to get the DB and loops to find it. At last goes timeout.
Last time I had fix this with a similar line, obviously it is not the right form. What I ask is simply a line of config. I am not skilled in server configuration and I don't need to be anyway: once this will be online the server will have already configuration. I don't even care on what SQL type I will work, the app has a parser that makes all SQLs compatible.
I had to restore the system because of a problem, otherwise all was working before and I changed just that line, can't remember how...
Hope this will clear the situation.

Confluence in Docker can't see PostgreSQL in Docker

I'm trying to set up both Confluence and PostgreSQL in Docker. I've got them both up and running on my fully up to date CentOS 6 machine, with volume-mapping to the host file system so I can back them up easily. I can connect to PostgreSQL using pgAdmin from another machine just fine, and I can get into Confluence from a browser from that same machine. So, basically, both apps seem to be running as expected inside their respective containers and are accessible to the outside world, which of course eliminates a whole bunch of possibilities for my issue.
And that issue is that Confluence can't talk to PostgreSQL during initial setup, which is necessary for it to function. I'm getting connection failed errors (to be specific: "Can't reach database server or port : SQLState - 08001 org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: The connection attempt failed").
PostgreSQL is using the default 5432 port, which of course is exposed, otherwise I wouldn't be able to connect to it via pgAdmin, and of course I know the ID/password I'm trying is correct for the same reason (and besides, if it was an auth problem I wouldn't expect to see this error message). When I try to configure the database connection during Confluence's initial setup, I specify the IP address of the host machine, just like from pgAdmin on the other machine, but that doesn't work. I also tried some things that I basically knew wouldn't work (0.0.0.0, 127.0.0.1 and localhost).
I'm not sure what I need to do to make this work. Is there maybe some special method to specify the IP to a container from the same host machine, some nomenclature I'm not aware of?
At this point, I'm "okay" with Docker in terms of basic operations, but I'm far from an expert, so I'm a bit lost. I'm also not a big-time *nix user generally, though I can usually fumble my way through most things... but any hints would be greatly appreciated because I'm at a loss right now otherwise.
Thanks,
Frank
EDIT 1: As requested by someone below, here's my pg_hba.conf file, minus comments:
local all all trust
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust
host all all ::1/128 trust
local replication all trust
host replication all 127.0.0.1/32 trust
host replication all ::1/128 trust
host all all all md5
try changing the second line of the pg_hba.conf file to the following:
host all all 0.0.0.0/32 trust
this will cause PostgreSQL to start accepting calls from any source address. Since a docker container is technically not operating on localhost but on its own ip, the current configuration causes PostgreSQL to block any connections to it.
Also check if confluence is searching for the database on localhost. If that is the case change that to the ip of the hostmachine within the docker network.
Success! The solution was to create a custom network and then use the image name in the connection string to PostreSQL container from Confluence container. In other words, I ran this:
docker network create -d bridge docker-net
Then, on both of the docker run commands for the PostgreSQL and Confluence containers, I added:
--network=docker-net
That way, when I ran through the Confluence configuration wizard, when it asked for the hostname for the PostgreSQL server, I used postgres (the name I gave the container) rather than an IP address or actual hostname. Docker makes that work thanks to the custom network. This also leaves the containers available via the IP of the host machine, so for example I can still connect to PostgreSQL via 192.168.123.12:5432, and of course I can launch Confluence in the browser via 192.168.123.12:8080.
FYI, I didn't even have to alter the pg_hba.conf file, I just used the official PostgreSQL image (latest) as it was, which is ideal.
Thanks very much to RSloeserwij for the suggestions... while none of them proved to be the solution I needed, they did put me on the right track in the Docker docs, which, after some reading, led me to understand a few things I didn't before and figure out the config magic I needed.

Connecting to a mongoDB with a TCP prefix on a NodeJS application

I created a NodeJS app that connects with a MongoDB and it seems to work locally.
Now, after hosting the NodeJS application on a remote machine, I am trying to connect to a mongoDB that was already created on that machine. When I print out some of the environment variables, the only one I see of relevance seems to be :
MONGODB_PORT: 'tcp://172.30.204.90:27017',
I tried connecting like I usually do with
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/metadata/')
and replacing it with mongoose.connect('tcp://172.30.204.90:27017/metadata') but I get an error that says my URI needs to start with 'mongodb'.
So I tried replacing it with mongoose.connect('mongodb://172.30.204.90:27017/metadata') and it no longer throws any error. But on the MongoDB side I don't see any new connections happening and my app does not start up on the machine. What should I be putting in the URI?
Your URI should indeed start with mongodb:
mongoose.connect('mongodb://username:password#host:port/database?options...');
See this page for more information: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/connection-string/
Did you try to connect to the database from cli? Or Telnet to see that connection isn't blocked.

How to tell on Linux (Lucid) if a connection is coming into the server?

So I have an issue where I am remotely connecting to a Mongodb on my linode box, and I am not longer able to access this DB. I can from my local machine, but when I am on this remote server (where the website runs) it is not working. I am not seeing the connection come into the Mongo logs, so this leads me to believe that maybe it is being intercepted by a firewall?
How can I watch traffic and see if this connection is at least making it to my linode box? I am connecting with Mongoid, so if there is a way to prove no connection there too.
Right now the only error I get is a erb view timeout execution error - not much to go on.
Thanks,
Daniel
