Probably postgresql is not listening for tcp/ip connections. If I remember correctly, pgaccess can use the unix sockets connect if you don't specify the host/port connection parameters (and probably not user/passwd either). Otherwise, you have to enable tcp/ip in postgresql.conf (or postgresql.init or something, it varies). > I've checked in /etc/services for port 5432 and it is there for postgres. That file only lists the services and associated ports. It doesn't mean anything is actually providing those services. -- Eric G. Miller <egm2@jps.net>
