Hi,
From the terminal in Mac OS X Yosemite, connecting to homebrew
installed 9.4.4, I have a problem if I specify the host (I know this
comes up all the time, bear with me as I have done a fair amount of
digging already). This works:
psql -Umyuser -d mydb
sql (9.3.5)
Type "help" for help.
myuser=#
Server log shows:
[unknown] LOG: connection received: host=[local]
myuser [local]LOG: connection authorized: user=myuser database=myuser
So that's all good. If I use -h it doesn't work:
psql -Umyuser -d mydb -h localhost
psql: server closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably means the server terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
Server log:
[unknown] LOG: connection received: host=::1 port=51186
(... and that's it, no connection authorized line)
I've checked the normal things people suggest, e.g. postgresql.conf:
listen_addresses = 'localhost' # also '*', '127.0.0.1', '::1'
port = 5432
and pg_hba.conf:
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust
host all all localhost trust
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::1/128 trust
And psql and pg_ctl are pointing to the same installations:
~ which psql
/usr/local/bin/psql
~ ll /usr/local/bin/psql
/usr/local/bin/psql -> ../Cellar/postgresql/9.4.4/bin/psql
~ which pg_ctl
/usr/local/bin/pg_ctl
~ ll /usr/local/bin/pg_ctl
/usr/local/bin/pg_ctl -> ../Cellar/postgresql/9.4.4/bin/pg_ctl
People have suggested checking for stuff on my machine that could
close connections. The Mac OS firewall is off and so is pf (Mac OS
packet filter).
This is all after upgrading (I had the same problem with 9.3.5) and
reinstalling.
Anyone got more clues for me?
Regards,
Fritz
