Shouldn't the port number be somewhere? What's "lds-distrib"? I changed the port to the usual 6432 in the pgbouncer.ini. Restarted. Now I see this: > lsof -i | grep pgbounc pgbouncer 10854 postgres 7u IPv4 26257796 TCP localhost:6432 (LISTEN) So this is live and working. Pgbouncer is working. And yet, this is a problem: > psql MYDB -E "MYDB_MYDB" -p 6432 -W Password for user MYDB_MYDB: psql: ERROR: no working server connection >From the log file: 2011-11-20 01:28:57.775 10854 WARNING server login failed: FATAL password authentication failed for user "MYDB_MYDB" 2011-11-20 01:28:57.775 10854 LOG S-0x1ae2efc0: MYDB/MYDB_MYDB@127.0.0.1:5432 closing because: login failed (age=0) 2011-11-20 01:29:46.413 10854 LOG Stats: 0 req/s, in 0 b/s, out 0 b/s,query 0 us The password I am entering in the terminal is right for sure. I've tried it a few times, checked the caps lock, etc. Also, if the log carries this "FATAL password authentication failed", why does the terminal give the vague error "no working server connection"?
