PostgreSQL 9.4 QT 5.5 Trouble with connection string. #[SOLVED]

[metron9]

I have installed PostgreSQL 9.4 and created a database called "test"
I created a user role_name "mark" with a password "apple"
I get the following error when I compile and run.

Error: QSqlError("", "QPSL: Unable to connect", "fe_sendauth: no password supplied\n")

I am totally new to PostgreSQL as well as a Noobe with QT
I have read many posts from the web on compiling the drivers but the one I went with simply says to copy 4 of the .DLL files from the PostgreSQL install bin folder to the QT mingw bin folder.
libeay32
libintl.dll
libpq.dll
ssleay32.dll

I did that and from the error message it looks as though the driver is working.

Not sure what the actual ServerName is suppose to be. Looking at the PgAdmin the servers Service ID is what I used.

Code is from an example made by VoidRealms although his example used the "QODBC" connection.

Any advice much appreciated to get me started here.

The program code:

#include <QCoreApplication>
#include <QtSql>
#include <QtDebug>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

    QString servername = "LOCALHOST\\postgresql-9.4";
    QString dbname = "test";
    QString user = "mark";
    QString pword = "apple";

    QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QPSQL");

    db.setConnectOptions();

    QString dsn = QString("*DRIVER={SQL Native Client};SERVER=%1;DATABASE=%2;UID=%3;PWD=%4").arg(servername).arg(dbname).arg(user).arg(pword);


    db.setDatabaseName(dsn);

    if(db.open())
    {
        qDebug() << "Opened";
        db.close();

    }
    else
    {
        qDebug() << "Error:" << db.lastError();
    }


    return a.exec();
}

The applications.pro code

QT       += core
QT       += sql
QT       -= gui
TARGET = dbapp
CONFIG   += console
CONFIG   -= app_bundle
TEMPLATE = app
SOURCES += main.cpp

I added some error output using qDebug()
Trying to figure out myself I can see db.database returns no username.

 qDebug() << "\nError:" << db.lastError() << "\n\nConnection Name:" << db.connectionName() << "\n\nDatabase:" << db.database()
                 << "\n\nDatabase Name:" << db.databaseName();

After blowing some steam off by walking 5 miles I returned to see if I could figure it out.
The resulting code works. I created a console application.
Baby steps.
Don't forget to put those .DLL files mentioned above in the correct directory.

            // I understand using the  QSqlQuery::bindValue() is a better way to do this.
