Depending on your platform, you can check which ports are accepting connections with something like: netstat -plnt If you don't see your port open there, listening on all addresses or on the localhost IP, you probably need to modify your postgresql.conf file to set listen_addresses or port as you need them. (You will need to restart PostgreSQL.) If the postgresql.conf file is good, you must have something misconfigured in the networking on that box. You could run: ping localhost to see what that gives you. -Kevin -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
