Re: jdbc connection problem

thanks a lot. Ubuntu 6.10 sets the port to 5433 instead of 5432.
psql seems to consider this when not specifying a port - jdbc not.

i changed the port setting in /etc/postgresql/8.1/main/postgresql.conf
to 5432 and stopped postgres and started it new. now jdbc gets the
connection.

(restart / reload did not change the port.)
