I changed the port to the usual 6432 in the pgbouncer.ini. Restarted.
Now I see this:


> lsof -i | grep pgbounc
pgbouncer 10854 postgres    7u  IPv4 26257796       TCP localhost:6432 (LISTEN)


So this is live and working. Pgbouncer is working. And yet, this is a problem:


> psql MYDB -E "MYDB_MYDB" -p 6432 -W
Password for user MYDB_MYDB:
psql: ERROR:  no working server connection


From the log file:


2011-11-20 01:28:57.775 10854 WARNING server login failed: FATAL
password authentication failed for user "MYDB_MYDB"
2011-11-20 01:28:57.775 10854 LOG S-0x1ae2efc0:
MYDB/MYDB_MYDB@127.0.0.1:5432 closing because: login failed (age=0)
2011-11-20 01:29:46.413 10854 LOG Stats: 0 req/s, in 0 b/s, out 0 b/s,query 0 us


The password I am entering in the terminal is right for sure. I've
tried it a few times, checked the caps lock, etc. Also, if the log
carries this "FATAL password authentication failed", why does the
terminal give the vague error "no working server connection"?

Thanks.
