>show the [databases] section in the pgbouncer.ini [databases] manifold = host=127.0.0.1 port=5432 dbname=manifold user=postgrest password=123ert I have tested now with both the ip address and using localhost in the host section I have also ended up swapping round the 2 port numbers so now postgres is 6432 and pgbouncer is 5432 the only thing is when I use the admin command to check the databases for the pgbouncer i get this: pgbouncer=# show databases; name | host | port | database | force_user | pool_size | reserve_pool -----------+--------------+------+-----------+------------+-----------+-------------- manifold | 127.0.0.1 | 5432 | manifold | postgrest | 20 |0 pgbouncer | | 5432 | pgbouncer | pgbouncer | 2 |0 postgres | 127.0.0.1 | 5432 | postgres | | 20 |0 It seems that they are all are using the same port. I'm at my winds end now and I need to get this working badley. Maybe I'm not understanding it at all if some could explaine it to me in more lamens terms hopefully that would help otherwise I don't know what to do. I can't change to linux which might of made this job a lot easier I have to use windows. -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/changing-port-numbers-so-pgbouncer-can-read-geoserver-and-postgres-tp5776631p5776821.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - general mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
