Backup produce empty file and wierd behavior

[Nicola Riolini - Micronaet]

Hi all,
I try to do my DB backup, I both use GTK client: from menù File/Database/Save Database, and web client: press button DATABASE in log in form and BACK UP botton; the password and Database that I chose is correct. When I press OK to do the operation I see the client seems freezing. I leave it for 1 hour without changing.
I decide to look at the server (I launch server and web client as an administrator user from command line, not as a service or with root privileges, normally client activity work fine with this installation), specifically on the bash, where I see on line log (the terminal window is where I launch: openerp-server.py script)
there I have this request:

[2010-08-17 14:49:57,108] INFO:web-services:DUMP DB: databasename
Password:

I write the "admin" password (that is default admin not yet changed) when I do this I get OK message on client (both web and GTK have this behavior). I locate Backup file and I see that is a 0 kbyte file...

Is this a bug or my bad backup procedure?
Thanks

Hi

You must create a .pgpass file in your home, see http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/libpq-pgpass.html
