Hello, everyone. So, here's the problem: In a nutshell, Postgres doesn't seem to be listening on port 5432 (which is where everything seems to be looking for it). Nmap confirms this, plus none of the stuff that lsof lists as being owned by postgres seems to deal with a socket (here's the dump in case it helps):

The regression tests don't work because they can't connect to the database (obviously). This is the process that 'ps ax' shows: ------------ /usr/lib/postgresql/bin/postmaster -b /usr/lib/postgresql/bin/postgres -B 128 -D /var/lib/postgres/data -d 0 ------------ I am running a Debian Potato/Woody Frankenstein, which may be part of the problem. I am using kernel-image '2.2.17pre6-1' (unmodified from the distro... it's amazing how well the 2.2.x images run without recompiles). I'd be happy to supply any other info that might be helpful. On a possibly-related note, Kaffe doesn't seem to be properly listening on port 8007. lsof has this entry: ------------ Kaffe 286 www-data 5u IPv4 417 TCP cmayes:8007 (LISTEN) ------------ However, web-based services like Enhydra can't connect to it. Plus, an nmap of localhost (and cmayes) turns up zilch on 8007. Kaffe's version # is 1.0.6-1. TIA, -Chris __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
