I am installing odoo 9.  I have followed the instructions and installed the server without issue.  Now I can't seem to get the database connection going. For the database, I installed postgres and then did the following:

1. create user

> createuser --createdb --username postgres -h 127.0.0.1 --no-createrole --no-superuser --pwprompt odoo9

2. update pg_hba.conf

local all odoo9 md5

host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5

I can connect to the database on the command line 

> psql -U odoo9 -d db_addhaptics_odoo9

Password for user odoo9:

psql (9.3.11)

Type "help" for help.

db_addhaptics_odoo9=> 

I have updated the odoo config file to match the username and password.  But when I try to launch the site, I get the following in my odoo log:

2016-09-06 21:42:02,893 19282 INFO ? openerp.addons.bus.models.bus: Bus.loop listen imbus on db postgres

What am I doing wrong?
