Database setup for Mongodb and Postgresql

Question

After converting all files from python 2.7 to latest version I am having issue running the game. I am getting database connection error. I have one file Frontend.py has following codes:

BIND_PORT = 7071
BIND_ADDRESS = "0.0.0.0"

MONGODB_HOST = "10.0.0.1"
MONGODB_PORT = 27017

DB_USERNAME = "tdta"
DB_PASSWORD = "foobar42"
DB_HOST = "10.0.0.1"
DB_DATABASE = "tdta"

NEW_USER_RATING = 1500

BACKEND_SERVERS = (
( "127.0.0.1", 32073, "th_frontend", "e5e6af02519f110093d76dcc1f55b25d" ),
( "127.0.0.1", 32073, "th_frontend", "e5e6af02519f110093d76dcc1f55b25d" ),
( "127.0.0.1", 32073, "th_frontend", "e5e6af02519f110093d76dcc1f55b25d" ),
)

I have another file ServerConfig.py for backend with following code:

SERVER_PORT = 32073
SERVER_FPS = 60.0   # should read back from a config file, but this will do for now
SERVER_FRAME_QUOTA = 2.0/SERVER_FPS

PING_FREQUENCY = 3.0  # once per second if nothing else
LATENCY_BUFFER_LENGTH = 10  # how many latency samples will be stored and averaged to get an average latency measurement
NONACTIVITY_GRACE_PERIOD = 300.0  # if users do absolutely nothing for this amount of seconds the match will be terminated
NONACTIVITY_WARNING_PERIOD = 240.0  # if users do absolutely nothing for this amount of seconds a warning will be sent

VISUALIZE = False
ALLOW_DEBUG = True
ALLOW_DEBUG_COMMANDS = True

MATCH_UNIT_CAP = 400

MONGODB_HOST = "10.0.0.1"
MONGODB_PORT = 27017

FRONTEND_HOST = "127.0.0.1"
FRONTEND_PORT = 7070
FRONTEND_USERNAME = "th_frontend"
FRONTEND_PASSWORD = "e5e6af02519f110093d76dcc1f55b25d"

I know this files need to configure based on my postgresql and mongodb database credentials.

Can anyone tell me what is th_frontend", "e5e6af02519f110093d76dcc1f55b25d" for? Is it postgresql username and password

I am sure this for mongodb connection:

MONGODB_HOST = "10.0.0.1"
MONGODB_PORT = 27017

DB_USERNAME = "tdta"
DB_PASSWORD = "foobar42"
DB_HOST = "10.0.0.1"
DB_DATABASE = "tdta"

But with this credential when I try to login it says no database "tdta" although i am sure mongo show dbs showing tdta.

I am confused for

BIND_PORT = 7071
BIND_ADDRESS = "0.0.0.0"

When trying to connect from Unity3D getting this error message now. I am still unable to figure out what is this for as mongodb and postgresql has different login credential

FRONTEND_USERNAME = "th_frontend"

FRONTEND_PASSWORD = "e5e6af02519f110093d76dcc1f55b25d"

I am getting error when trying to login with Unity3d:

When trying to connect from Unity3D getting this error message now.

With help from snakecharmerb I was able to fix. I changed users name and password and now able to login to postgresql database.

Now i am getting new error:

What should I do?My id is user1 and password user

Answer 1

The error message

TypeError: Unicode-objects must be encoded before hashing

is telling you that you need to encode the password before hashing it, so the line

user = authenticate(db, request_dict["username"], md5(request_dict["password"]).hexdigest())

should be

user = authenticate(db, request_dict["username"], md5(request_dict["password"].encode('ascii')).hexdigest())

(You might want to use UTF-8 as the encoding if the password could contain non-ASCII characters)
