I am getting an error after moving the project to production. The error is as follows while running with production server pg_connect(): Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: SCRAM authentication requires libpq version 10 or above.

    Your application uses an API that is linked with the PostgreSQL client C library libpq.

    The version of that library must be 9.6 or older, and SCRAM authentication was introduced in v10.

    Method 1: Upgrade libpq on the application end and try again.

    yum install https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-7-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm
yum install postgresql10-libs postgresql10 postgresql10-devel

    For your OS flavour and required virsion follow the link https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/redhat/

    Method 2: If you don't need scram-sha-256 authentication, you can revert to md5:

    • set password_encryption = md5 in postgresql.conf
    • change the authentication method to md5 in pg_hba_conf
    • reload PostgreSQL
    • change the password of the user to get an MD5 encrypted password
