Beyond that this is not the correct list for this question. pgPoolII is a standalone product - i.e., not part of PostgreSQL core which is what this list to dedicated to. The proper links, as well as documentation, can be found at: http://www.pgpool.net/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page I suggest posting the actual configuration file along with detailing exactly how (and on what platform) you are running the various applications. It is possible that O/S user permissions prevent pgPool from seeing or interacting with the socket file.
