Thread: problem with Connection refused
Hello pgsql-novice,
I keep getting this when I try to access the PostgreSQL database. The
funny thing is this used to work. I am using a cobalt Linux server.
And Postgresql is used for the GUI on that server . The GUI works I
just can't access this other Database.
How can I start the server with the -i . PostgreSQL is started at boot
up with the script down below how can I change that to use the -i
switch or do I even halve to
PHP Warning: pg_pconnect() unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: PQconnec
tPoll() -- connect() failed: Connection refused
Is the postmaster running (with -i) at '127.0.0.1'
and accepting connections on TCP/IP port '5901'?

It's trying to connect to a non-standard port (5901) and I didn't see anything in your start-up script to indicate that postmaster would be listening on that port. -- Oliver Elphick Oliver.Elphick@lfix.co.uk Isle of Wight, UK http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C ======================================== "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first; Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord."
