Richard, you are correct. I was missing the [] headings. Someone sent me a sample file which didn't have them so I didnt think they were necessary. I now get... 2009-11-17 12:00:35.809 19575 LOG File descriptor limit: 1024 (H: 1024), max_client_conn: 100, max fds possible: 130 So now the only step I have left is actually connecting. Im trying to connect a php script to pgbouncer with $conn = pg_connect("host=127.0.0.1 dbname=bouncer1 port=6543 user=nboutelier password=password"); which results in Warning: pg_connect(): Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host "127.0.0.1" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 6543 Thanks for you help and patience. -Nick On Nov 17, 3:38 am, d...@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Richard Huxton) wrote: > Nick wrote: > > Thanks Richard, I updated my users.txt file to include quotes (it > > didn't) which fixed the broken auth file error, but now im getting > > this... > > > 1518 ERROR unconfigured_file: No such file or directory > > > which repeats over and over again when I try > > > pgbouncer -v pgbouncer.ini > > Which is why you have the source.
