I am using rental server with root access. The server was initially set up
with postgresql, but the db is used only for the server maintanance.
I could not get connected to the database.
The db was started with -i option. But still, I can not get it connected.
The portnumber should be 5432 as default.
Q1. How can I check to see if postgresql is using port 5432?
I have put PGPORT=5432 at .bash_profile and exported it to make sure it is
using port number 5432. But still I could not get connected.
Here is the part of the program I use.
php3 file has the following code:
<?
include("gw.conf");
include("include/admchk.func");
$conn = @pg_Connect($host,"5432","","",$masterdb);
if (!$conn) {
echo "<B>Can not connect to the database.</B><BR>\n";
exit;
}
?>
Each time I run this portion, I get the error of not connected to the db.
Q2. Can anyone help me find out what to look for in order to correct this
problem?
Q3. Can I install another copy of postgresql into the existing server?
Another words, can I stall another copy of postgresql which will not
interrupt to the previous set of postgresql?
Thank you very much for your help in advance.
