Hi, My computer is an amd64 sempron with a fresh Gentoo Linux 2005.1-r1. I'm trying to get pgaccess and postgresql to set up.
Both have been successfully emerged. I can create a data base with my user "dirk" and access it using psql. Upon /etc/init.d/postgres stop/start I do find the following in my logfile: << LOG: received fast shutdown request LOG: shutting down LOG: database system is shut down LOG: could not send test message on socket for statistics collector: Operation not permitted LOG: disabling statistics collector for lack of working socket LOG: database system was shut down at 2005-12-15 08:35:49 CET LOG: checkpoint record is at 0/AC5068 LOG: redo record is at 0/AC5068; undo record is at 0/0; shutdown TRUE LOG: next transaction ID: 558; next OID: 17231 LOG: database system is ready >> When trying to access the data base using pgaccess I get the following message: << Error trying to connect to database 'test' on host localhost PostgreSQL error message: Connection to database failed couldn't open socket: connection refused >> With no further messages in the postgres log. After having carefully followed the FAQs and all man pages etc.etc. It refuses to connect. I havn't got a clue as to what is wrong and would appreciate a push in the right direction. I suspect sockets but don't know where to go from here. TIA for reactions Dirk -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
