I figured this out and it is not a Postgres issue. There was a area of initialization overlooked by the installer on a fresh install of a development system.. I had to add a little extra debug to see that one key job not only was not getting attached to the database, it was not even trying. After seeing that I able to run down the installation flaws. Thanks very much to all for your suggestions on this matter.

Are those apps trying to use TCP connections, or Unix-socket connections? If the latter, it might be a discrepancy in where they expect the socket file to be versus where the postmaster thinks it should be. 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
