Hello , I am quite sorry but looking a the tutorials it is hard for me to understand what am i supposed to do with pgservice configuration thingy. Let s say i am creating and uploading a project on qfieldcloud using a direct database connection with multiple users. -\>‘if your QField users will not have a reliable internet connection in the field or Direct database access’ Ok i can do all that what i can’t figure out is what do i do with this mysterious pg\_config file , do I just create a secret or do i need to do something physically with a text files what is going on . I have managed to have project on qfield cloud working directly from the postgres database without doing this but other time i get errors. If somebody kind enough could lay out the steps in details for a novice to undertake it would be greatly appreciated . 1.create QGIS project 2.Add postgres layer 3.Set up direct database connection 4.upload project to qfield cloud 5. ??? 6. ???

Hello Hugo, Did you have a look to this part of the docs? [PostGIS](https://docs.qfield.org/get-started/tutorials/advanced-setup-qfc/#postgis) Best regards, Lucie * * * _Imported from [GitHub comment](https://github.com/opengisch/QField/discussions/3016#discussioncomment-3048772) by @lucienicolier on 2022-06-29T14:03:35Z_ ---

Bonjour Lucien, Thanks for your reply, Yes I read those tutorial carefully . So I did multiple projects with direct connection it was working great for me with the layer updating in real time etc … Then i added a collaborator and he got the project using qfieldcloud on his android . So it should be the exact same project that i ve got on my phone . But he got the following error message ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex018/uploads/qfield/original/1X/2b2ab1d0d5c25a2f97917f177e8387b767a5af52.png) I deleted the project on my phone redownload it through qfield cloud and got the same error msg . the project on the laptop is still using the postgis layer , I dont get it .

I got the same problem yesrterday. And then I tried to make the version of QField and QGIS on PC or laptop same. (I installed latest QGIS version 3.30.1-'s-Hertogenbosch) Finally, upload project again and it works. * * * _Imported from [GitHub comment](https://github.com/opengisch/QField/discussions/3016#discussioncomment-5610911) by @GaryHsiao88 on 2023-04-14T02:09:35Z_
