I have just downloaded and installed postgresql and pgadmin3.
In Postgresql I have done no more than create a test database (with no tables or anything) called testdb. I can connect to this dataabase as the user postgres from the command line interface (./psql testdb). The postgres user is the user who started the server.
When I try to add a server in pgadmin3 I firstly get the following warning:
Warning: Mailcap file /home/peter/.mailcap, line 59: incomplete entry ignored.
which seems a bit odd, since that refers to crossover office's entry for Word 97 ...
Then I enter the details for the new server (localhost, testdb, postgres), but pgadmin3 hangs when I click on OK. I've tried it with the trusted checkbox both selected and deselected.
netstat -l confirms that the server is listening on port 5432.
If I try to telnet to port 5432 I get "Connection refused" both as my own user and as the postgres user.
My pg_hba.conf file is just the default file, which says that connections should be permitted for any local postgresql user. So I gather from that that the postgres user should be OK.
I'd look in the logs, but I don't know where to look (or what to look for ...).
I'd be grateful for any help
Please supply informations about system and pgadmin3 version (binary/source?)
Regards, Andreas
