I would first work on establishing that psql works. >From a previous post: " Also, this does NOT work: psql snipurl -E "snipurl_snipurl" -p 6543 Shows me this error: psql: ERROR: no working server connection How come? The pgbouncer is on! " Not sure what platform you are on but: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/interactive/app-psql.html "Not all of these options are required; there are useful defaults. If you omit the host name, psql will connect via a Unix-domain socket to a server on the local host, or via TCP/IP to localhost on machines that don't have Unix-domain sockets" You have pgbouncer listening on 127.0.0.1. In your psql connection string you are not specifying a host, so if you are on a Unix platform it is trying to connect to a socket which would account for the error. I found when working with new software explicit is better than implicit. Eliminate possible sources of error by fully qualifying everything. -- Adrian Klaver adrian.klaver@xxxxxxxxx -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
