After several years away from Postgres, I'm back to using it for a small project. I installed 7.4.8 on a FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE machine. Then I init'd the db and added myself as a user, then created a ned db for the prohect. I can connect fine with psql. Then I built pgaccess, and p5-DBD-Pg-13 from the FreeBSD ports tree. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get either of them to connect. I'm still loged in as me, and trying to access the same database, but I can't seem to get a conection. sockstat | grep post returns: pgsql postgres 486 4 udp6 ::1:64506 ::1:64506 pgsql postgres 485 3 stream /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432 pgsql postgres 485 4 udp6 ::1:64506 ::1:64506 Sorry for the beginer level question, but what am I doing wrong here? -- U.S. Encouraged by Vietnam Vote - Officials Cite 83% Turnout Despite Vietcong Terror - New York Times 9/3/1967 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
