However, I've come really unstuck now that I'm moving from using mysql to using Postgresql. I've got it working fine externally as far as I can tell (on the web server, via Heroku), but can't connect at all on the local server on my Macbook.

With that in mind, I'm throwing myself at your mercy. Is there anyone out there who could offer to fix this for me? I'm happy to meet anywhere in London (a cafe, or at your house or wherever) at either a weekday evening or weekend, bring my Macbook and have you fix this for me. Would anyone be willing?

The main frustration is that this is just getting the database working, so that I can learn the coding which I care more about! I'm happy doing trial-and-error on the code, but not being able to reach it in the first place is really dispiriting.
