hi all, running amd64 fedora core 3 w/ default postgresql 7.4.7-3. did asu - , su postgres and createdb mydb as explained in the postgresql tutorial. installed the latest pgadmin3 and am trying to connect to this database. as i wasn't sure what the FC3 default password was for postgres, i changed it to something i could remember. i can't seem to connect to the new database using pgadmin3. i have the correct IP address of the local computer, default port 5432, mydb as the initaldb, postgres as the username, and my new password as the password. i keep getting the error Error connecting to the server: could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host "192.168.1.24" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? i also verified the postgresql service is running, and that i've added the following to /etc/raddb/postgresql.conf: login = "postgres" password = "mynewpassword" and right underneath it: tcpip = true i've also disabled my local firewall and SELINUX just for kicks. and yes, i did a reboot. so...anyone know what else i can look at? many thanks! jonathan ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
