Re: postgres- connection refuse

Since pgsql doesn't use a tcp/ip connection by default, it can work when a
network connection is not allowed.

To force pgsql to use tcp/ip for a connection, us the -h param:

psql -h <local.server.name> <dbname>

If you can't connect this way, then you should be looking at the pg_hba.conf
file. In particular, make sure you are set up well for localhost.

If you *can* connect this way, then you have the auth set up fine in pg_hba
and you should be looking for the problem in your JDBC code.

Subject: [JDBC] postgres- connection refuse


This is my first time using postgres. Everything work fine when I use psql
at the bin, however when I try to connect using java, I get this message.

Connection refused. Check that the hostname and port are correct and that
the postmaster is accepting TCP/IP connections.

- It seem like I have the problem with hostname and port but I don't know
how to tune it. (I've modify my postgresql.conf set tcpip_socket = true but
still cannot work).

- Here is how my code looks like
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:postgresql:mydb","", "");

(I'm not connecting to any web server)

Please help and thanks in advance.
