Continuing the discussion from [Importers for large forums](https://meta.discourse.org/t/importers-for-large-forums/61681):

I’m sure I’m doing something silly, but I’m trying to run the vbulletin bulk importer and for some reason it can’t find the postgres database.

```
/home/pfaffman/.rbenv/versions/2.4.2/lib/ruby/gems/2.4.0/gems/pg-0.20.0/lib/pg.rb:56:in `initialize': fe_sendauth: no password supplied (PG::ConnectionBad)

```

It looks like it should get it here:

> <https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/script/bulk_import/base.rb#L15-L19>

I ran a standard importer and it didn’t have any trouble.

What am I missing?

Edit: I’m not the only one: [https://meta.discourse.org/t/fe-sendauth-no-password-supplied-in-bulk-importer/76276?u=pfaffman](https://meta.discourse.org/t/fe-sendauth-no-password-supplied-in-bulk-importer/76276)

Did you ever figure this out?

No. But I’ve not tried again.

Changing

> <https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/script/bulk_import/base.rb#L60>

to

```plaintext
@raw_connection = PG.connect(dbname: db[:database], host: db[:host_names]&.first, port: db[:port], password: "discourse")

```

(where `discourse` is the password for `discourse_development` database)

should fix this issue. I think this issue is specific to Linux and works fine on macOS.
