*cough* *cough* of course *ahem* and now that I've supplied the correct
one it's telling me
that the connection has been refused, and to check hostname, port.etc.
This isn't a new database
or setup, I can still access it using pgAdminIII (just tried), I ssh
into the server all the time, etc.
I also tried to specify the port after the url (192.x.x.x:5432) but then
it complains that I don't
have a suitable driver. Any ideas?
Thanks
Ron
