Thread: Cannot reach pg server using -h localhost
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

This works: This rang a bell with me, and a bit of digging found this thread: http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/6804.1413911806@sss.pgh.pa.us While that's not the same symptom you're describing, it does point up that OS X will expand "localhost" as pretty much "whatever it says in /etc/hosts". You might want to make sure that that expansion is sane, ie 127.0.0.1 and ::1 and nothing else. On my not-misbehaving-now Yosemite laptop, /etc/hosts contains ## # Host Database # # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface # when the system is booting. Do not change this entry. ## 127.0.0.1 localhost 255.255.255.255 broadcasthost ::1 localhost However, assuming that that's not your problem, I'd suggest cranking up log_min_messages to DEBUG5 and seeing if anything more gets reported in the postmaster log. Another thing worth checking is whether "-h 127.0.0.1" and "-h ::1" behave the same as "-h localhost". That would help rule out (or not) DNS issues. regards, tom lane
> and if you have it listen to 127.0.0.1, you see 127.0.0.1 in netstat?
Yes, netstat reflects exactly what I have in listen_addresses:
listen_addresses = '127.0.0.1, ::1'
~ netstat -an | grep 5432
tcp6 0 0 ::1.5432 *.* LISTEN
tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.5432 *.* LISTEN
If it's just '127.0.0.1' it just lists the tcp4 line.

Yes.

Just realized that my suggestion above was redundant, because of this:
"
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)
> So what happens if you do?:

Same thing. Pause for about 30 seconds and then "server closed the
connection unexpectedly". Server log just shows:
[unknown] LOG: connection received: host=127.0.0.1 port=51919
So psql -h <whatever> is reaching the server, it is failing at that
point though.

1) Can you access the Postgres server from another machine?
2) I know in your original post you did a which on psql, but is there
more then one instance/install of Postgres on this machine?
The reason I ask is this from the original post:
psql -Umyuser -d mydb
sql (9.3.5)
Type "help" for help.
myuser=#
That indicates a 9.3.5 version of psql. Not sure if that is the current
state or a cut and paste from when you said you where running 9.3.5,
before installing 9.4?

Same thing was happening on 9.3.5 and 9.4.4. Currently: psql (9.4.4) Type "help" for help. myuser=#
Hi,
just to be 100% sure everything works upt to the TCP layer...
0. Stop postgres.
1. Open a terminal, enter:
nc -l 5432
and leave that running.
2. Open another terminal and enter:
nc 127.0.0.1 5432
follow up with some text such as "hello" and then hit CTRL-D
So... did "hello" show up in the first Terminal or not? (it should)
Bye,
Chris.
This is interesting, I tried nc a few times. Inconsistent results: - most of the time the first line doesn't get through, even after a long wait - on sending a second line from the client both lines appear instantly, and it's 100% from there on - or I can send a line from the server. The first line from client is still lost but both ends are 100% after that - 1/10 "sessions" behave perfectly BTW ^D just ends the session without sending anything, I'm hitting enter to send instead.

Here, on OS X 10.10.4 it works every time and every line entered shows up in terminal 1 instantly (as it should). If you ping 127.0.0.1 for some time you do have 0% loss, right? At this point I'd try to look at the OS X logs. Firewall is off right? Try to stop other software (any virtualization software, obscure network tools?)... What happens if you use the IP of en0, en1, ..., enX... instead of 127.0.0.1? Rebooting doesn't help (Windows docet)? When the first line doesn't get through, does it show up in the Recv-Q Send-Q fields in netstat -an (provided the connection shows up at all)? When you keep a third terminal open running sudo tcpdump -n -i lo0 while you do the nc thing, do you see anything? > BTW ^D just ends the session without sending anything, I'm hitting > enter to send instead. Oh yes, I wasn't clear on that... Bye, Chris.
Logging at debug5, hopefully it will mean more to you than to me. Local connection connects and I quit in a few seconds. -h localhost takes 90+ seconds to be closed by the server. In the longer duration there is a lot more logged, seems like unrelated auto chatter. I turned autovacuum off in postgresql.conf in the hope that it would reduce the chatter, seems unsuccesful. psql -Umyuser -dmydb 2015-07-22 12:00:51.175 CEST DEBUG: forked new backend, pid=5923 socket=12 2015-07-22 12:00:51.175 CEST [unknown] LOG: connection received: host=[local] 2015-07-22 12:00:51.175 CEST myuser [local]DEBUG: postgres child[5923]: starting with ( 2015-07-22 12:00:51.175 CEST myuser [local]DEBUG: postgres 2015-07-22 12:00:51.175 CEST myuser [local]DEBUG: ) 2015-07-22 12:00:51.175 CEST myuser [local]DEBUG: InitPostgres 2015-07-22 12:00:51.175 CEST myuser [local]DEBUG: my backend ID is 2 2015-07-22 12:00:51.175 CEST myuser [local]DEBUG: StartTransaction 2015-07-22 12:00:51.175 CEST myuser [local]DEBUG: name: unnamed;
