"Connection refused" is a kernel-level refusal --- it means that the postmaster never got your request at all, either because it wasn't listening on that port or because something in-between blocked the packet. So there's no point in looking at your pg_hba configuration. Some troubleshooting info is in these parts of the docs: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/postmaster-start.html#CLIENT-CONNECTION-PROBLEMS http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/client-authentication-problems.html regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
