Unable to Connect to PostgreSQL from R-ECREATE Service

Hi Railway Support,

I'm encountering a connection issue from my R-ECREATE service when trying to run npx prisma db pull. The build fails with the following error:

Error: P1001 Can't reach database server at autorack.proxy.rlwy.net:49158 Please make sure your database server is running at autorack.proxy.rlwy.net:49158.

Environment variables are properly loaded, and the Prisma schema is configured correctly. This is affecting the deployment of my service, and I suspect the Postgres instance might be unreachable or not running as expected.

Could you please assist in resolving this issue?

Thanks,
Megha

Where is that URL coming from? I don't see it anywhere in your project

Hi Jake,

Thanks for the follow-up!

The URL autorack.proxy.rlwy.net:49158 is the public pgpool URL provided by Railway for external PostgreSQL access. This is the endpoint exposed in the DATABASE_PUBLIC_URL environment variable on our PG-POOL service.

We’re using this public URL to connect Prisma to the managed PostgreSQL instance from outside the Railway environment.

Please let us know if there's any configuration change or downtime on that proxy endpoint — we’ve verified the schema and env variables are set up correctly on our side.

Thanks again,
Megha

Hello,

I am able to connect to pgpool just fine, meaning this is an application or configuration level issue on your side, unfortunately, due to volume we are only able to answer questions that are strictly related to the Railway platform or product.

We wish you all the best as you debug this configuration issue.

Best,
Brody
