Thread: postgres- connection refuse
This is my first time using postgres. Everything work fine when I use psql at the bin, however when I try to connect using java, I get this message.
Connection refused. Check that the hostname and port are correct and that the postmaster is accepting TCP/IP connections.
- It seem like I have the problem with hostname and port but I don't know how to tune it. (I've modify my postgresql.conf set tcpip_socket = true but still cannot work).
- Here is how my code looks like
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:postgresql:mydb","", "");
(I'm not connecting to any web server)
Please help and thanks in advance.

Did you restart the postmaster?

I'm sure if an empty userid will work (I've never tried it). What does
your pg_hba.conf say? Aslo what version of postgreSQL are you using?

Since pgsql doesn't use a tcp/ip connection by default, it can work when a
network connection is not allowed.
To force pgsql to use tcp/ip for a connection, us the -h param:
psql -h <local.server.name> <dbname>
If you can't connect this way, then you should be looking at the pg_hba.conf
file. In particular, make sure you are set up well for localhost.
If you *can* connect this way, then you have the auth set up fine in pg_hba
and you should be looking for the problem in your JDBC code.
