You may be on to something. And the queries results are below. (5
connections are reserved for "superusers" so you may be right.)


MYDB=# show max_connections;
 max_connections
-----------------
 150
(1 row)

Time: 0.517 ms


MYDB=#   select count(1) from pg_stat_activity;
 count
-------
   144
(1 row)

Time: 1.541 ms



But isn't the point to connect to pgbouncer (instead of PG directly)
and have it manage connections? Even when I restart PG so that its
connection count is fresh and low, and immediately try to connect to
pgbouncer, it still shows me an error.

How can I debug that the connections are the problem?

The error message in the pgbouncer log points to some "FATAL password
authentication".



If not, then it's probably just your connect string ( in
> pgbouncer.ini) not being quite
 right.  You are using 127.0.0.1 for

Yes. It is.

Any ideas?
