connectivity problem

From

I am using postgreSQL 7.3,j2sdk1.4.2 and have
installed jdbc driver as pg73jdbc3.jar


Here is the classpath :
exportCLASSPATH=/root/j2sdk1.4.2/bin/test1.java:/root/j2sdk_nb/j2sdk1.4.2/jre/lib/ext/pg73jdbc3.jar:.

and here is the code:

import java.sql.*;
class test2{
  public static void main (String args[]) {


     try{


         Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");



      String
url="jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1/test";
      Connection con =
DriverManager.getConnection(url, "postgres", "");
      Statement stm= con.createStatement();


stm.setQueryTimeout(10);
ResultSet rs = stm.executeQuery("select col1 from
test1");


rs.next();


System.out.println(rs.getString(1));
}catch(ClassNotFoundException  e) {




 System.out.println("Exception");
 System.out.println(e.toString());
}
 catch(SQLException e) {




 System.out.println("Exception");
 System.out.println(e.toString());
}
}
}

and now I receive this error irrespective of the host
and port address used in the url:
Exception
Connection refused. Check that the hostname and port
are correct and that the postmaster is accepting
TCP/IP connections.


next I tried the foll:

[root@ws128 bin]# postmaster -c tcpip_socket=true
"root" execution of the PostgreSQL server is not
permitted.


The server must be started under an unprivileged user
id to prevent
a possible system security compromise.  See the
documentation for
more information on how to properly start the server.

Then I tried this:
[root@ws128 bin]# su postgres
bash-2.05b$ postmaster -c tcpip_socket=true
postmaster does not know where to find the database
system data.
You must specify the directory that contains the
database system
either by specifying the -D invocation option or by
setting the
PGDATA environment variable.


I think the problem is with postmaster settings, I
tried to set tcpip_socket into the postgresql.conf
file but it didnt work.
Please help.

1) You haven't told told the postmaster where it's data directory is

2) The error message shows you what to do to correct this

3) I find it easier to edit postgresql.conf to set tcpip_socket = true

4) Unless you installed PostgreSQL yourself from source, it's probably
available as a service. Consult your OS/distribution documentation

5) I'd suggest you move your JDK to a directory under /usr. Either
/usr/java or /usr/local/java would be ok. Otherwise you're going to have
to run all your Java apps as root and that would be _really_ stupid.
