[GENERAL] pgadmin3 / postgresql newbie question
hi all, running amd64 fedora core 3 w/ default postgresql 7.4.7-3. did asu - , su postgres and createdb mydb as explained in the postgresql tutorial. installed the latest pgadmin3 and am trying to connect to this database. as i wasn't sure what the FC3 default password was for postgres, i changed it to something i could remember. i can't seem to connect to the new database using pgadmin3. i have the correct IP address of the local computer, default port 5432, mydb as the initaldb, postgres as the username, and my new password as the password. i keep getting the error Error connecting to the server: could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host 192.168.1.24 and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? i also verified the postgresql service is running, and that i've added the following to /etc/raddb/postgresql.conf: login = postgres password = mynewpassword and right underneath it: tcpip = true i've also disabled my local firewall and SELINUX just for kicks. and yes, i did a reboot. so...anyone know what else i can look at? many thanks! jonathan ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send unregister YourEmailAddressHere to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
Re: [GENERAL] pgadmin3 / postgresql newbie question
Did you start the postmaster using '-i' to allow tcp/ip connections?

The default path for the real PostgreSQL configuration file is: /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf I don't know if running TCP/IP is a requirement for pgadmin3, but if you need to access the _local_ PostgreSQL server, most clients would do w/o configuring TCP/IP support at all. login = postgres password = mynewpassword and right underneath it: tcpip = true These do not belong to PostgreSQL server configurarion. It's RADIUS stuff. i've also disabled my local firewall and SELINUX just for kicks. and yes, i did a reboot. so...anyone know what else i can look at? 1) make sure postgresql is running (use ps - look for a postmaster process) 2) if it's not there, run following command as root: service postgresql start 3) if you want it to run automatically at boot, and it doesn't, run the following command as root: chkconfig postgresql on this won't start the process if it's not running. It just sets a flag for the next boot. 4) i don't get what you mean for changing postgres password. To switch to the postgres user, I usually switch to root first, and then to postgres. Root can switch to any user w/o password. Actually, it's good security practice not to assign any password to system pseudo-accounts (postgres is one of them) and leave them locked. If you need a different access method, I strongly suggest to look at the PostgreSQL way to authenticate users and stop using the 'ident' method (see pg_hba.conf), which forces you to run clients with a certain Unix user id. 5) try and access to the db with the psql client first. Use the same connection method you're using with pgadmin3, and run it under the same user you run pgadmin3 with. E.g.: psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U postgres mydb see psql manual for details. If you successfully get to 5), it's likely it's a pgadmin3 problem. .TM. -- / / / / / / Marco Colombo ___/ ___ / / Technical Manager / / / ESI s.r.l. _/ _/ _/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly

That particular error message is typically associated with a missing pg_hba.conf entry that tells the postgreSQL server which remote machines to allow connections FROM # If you want to allow non-local connections, you need to add more # host records.

Re: [GENERAL] pgadmin3 / postgresql newbie question
pgadmin3 does not seem to want to connect to the server using UNIX sockets, it only does it through TCP. Set up the Postgres server to use TCP (as well as UNIX sockets) - i.e. - starting postmaster with the -i option, sorting it pg_hba.conf etc. Eddy Jonathan Schreiter wrote: hi all, running amd64 fedora core 3 w/ default postgresql 7.4.7-3. did asu - , su postgres and createdb mydb as explained in the postgresql tutorial. installed the latest pgadmin3 and am trying to connect to this database. as i wasn't sure what the FC3 default password was for postgres, i changed it to something i could remember. i can't seem to connect to the new database using pgadmin3. i have the correct IP address of the local computer, default port 5432, mydb as the initaldb, postgres as the username, and my new password as the password. i keep getting the error Error connecting to the server: could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host 192.168.1.24 and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? i also verified the postgresql service is running, and that i've added the following to /etc/raddb/postgresql.conf: login = postgres password = mynewpassword and right underneath it: tcpip = true i've also disabled my local firewall and SELINUX just for kicks. and yes, i did a reboot. so...anyone know what else i can look at? many thanks! jonathan ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send unregister YourEmailAddressHere to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
