question about using remote Postgres

[schristley]

I'm picking up a fork which has been dormant for awhile and trying to get it into a production state, but there's something I don't quite get. I'm able to build and startup the development system with the standard commands:

$ bin/dev-servers development.ini --app-name app --clear --init --load
# In a separate terminal, make sure you are in the encoded-venv
$ bin/pserve development.ini

Now I want to point it to a production Postgres, it's running on another machine and managed by our DB group, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do that. It keeps wanting to start up postgres itself. I've tried using production.ini instead but that doesn't seem to work either. I also tried modifying the buildout.cfg with a full postgres connection string, but it still seems to create a local db in /tmp/snovault

Is there something I'm missing?
