Hi all,
after a crash of my machine I restarted the pgsql as usual, and I can connect
from the machine itself, but no more from a remote host. I checked the
pg_hba.conf file and it's ok, but either from psql or pgadmin I cannot
connect to the host. Nmapping my host I cannot see the daemon listening on
the port 5342.
I've started the daemon as:
postmaster -D /mnt/data/database &
Is that how you normally start your DB server? Not via pg_ctl or your
system startup scripts?
and my pg_hba.conf gile contains:
If you say it's not listening on port 5432 then the pg_hba.conf doesn't
matter. Check your postgresql.conf for valid settings on
listen_addresses and port.

Once it's listening on the right port, then look at your pg_hba.conf
