"Connection refused" is a kernel-level error, not Postgres refusing the connection. Either the postmaster is not actually listening on that port, or there is a packet filter rejecting the traffic. I'd bet on the latter given what you've said. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
