If it was trying to get that sort of connection, rather than TCP/IP, the message would be different. Something like: # could not connect to server: No such file or directory # Is the server running locally and accepting # connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"? You do have a point on the "Permission denied", though. If the problem was where I was suggesting, it would probably say "Connection refused". Perhaps some OS security restriction is in play here. -Kevin -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
