Hi there My PostgreSQL 9.1 installed on an Ubuntu/64 10.04 machine is running fine.
I installed pgAgent with "sudo apt-get install pgagent" (that is probably version 3.0.1). I executed the .sql script to create the pgagent objects in the database. sudo su postgres psql -d postgres postgres-# \dn List of schemas Name | Owner ---------+---------- pgagent | postgres public | postgres (2 rows) -> Database seems fine! -> The problem I am having is that I can not start pgagent. When I try: cd /usr/bin ./pgagent hostaddr=127.0.0.1 port=5432 dbname=postgres user=postgres and I get the following errors: /usr/bin$ WARNING: Couldn't create the primary connection (attempt 1): could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host "127.0.0.1" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? WARNING: Couldn't create the primary connection (attempt 2): could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host "127.0.0.1" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? WARNING: Couldn't create the primary connection (attempt 3): could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host "127.0.0.1" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? WARNING: Couldn't create the primary connection (attempt 4): could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host "127.0.0.1" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? Any idea? P.S: I also tried to run pgagent with sudo..... -> The same errors! Thanks, P.
