connecting from trac: "no route to host" error

Dear All

I am trying to set up trac with postgresql.  However, in trac-admin
initenv I am receiving a "no route to host" error:


Database connection string [sqlite:db/trac.db]>
postgres://tdb_user:tdb_pass@locahost/tdb_dbname

Creating and Initializing Project
Initenv for '/opt/trac/pgtest' failed.
Failed to create environment.
could not connect to server: No route to host
     Is the server running on host "locahost" and accepting
     TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

Traceback (most recent call last):

trac-admin is happy with sqlite.
I can login to postgresql using psql.
I have disabled iptables and selinux (It's all on a centos machine).
Stopping my web server (nginx) makes no difference.

ping localhost works but indeed ping localhost 5432 does not (receives
no packets).  However, postgresql.conf has:

listen_addresses = 'localhost'
port = 5432

I have the feeling I'm missing something obvious (I have read the FAQ,
Googled, etc.).  Please can anyone advise?

With thanks and best wishes

Ivan

locahost != localhost ;)

This is a networking setup problem, not a Postgres problem.
"ifconfig lo" might show something useful.  On a functioning
Fedora box I get

$ ifconfig lo
lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:1326801 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:1326801 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:392324376 (374.1 MiB)  TX bytes:392324376 (374.1 MiB)


If no joy there, try checking just what "localhost" is resolving as.

            regards, tom lane

PS: I trust "locahost" above is a copy and paste error, else that's
probably your problem.

Oh no I don't believe it!  That was the problem.  :Die of embarrassment:

Um,

     postgres://trac_db_user:trac_db_pass@localhost/trac_db_name

... works perfectly.

Many thanks and even more apologies!

Ivan
