Re: Connection refused

find your postgresql.conf file, look in there to make sure tcpip_socket
= true.

the directory that file is in should be the same as the $PGDATA that
your getting asked for, so you'll be able to do

pg_ctl -D /path/to/database status

Hello All,
I am getting this error when i am using sql-ledger
application. it is giving this error :
Error : could not connect to server: Connection refused
I have given these values : Host :192.168.168.56 User Name:SQL-ledger
Password : SQL-ledger and connect to: Template1
where Template1 is the DB template in postgresql on RH Linux 7.3
(postgresql 7.2.X).I
created a user  as sql-ledger
#su postgres
$ createuser -d sql-ledger
The post master is running and but the status is
# pg_ctl status
pg_ctl: no database directory or environment variable
$PGDATA is specified .
The default DB is template1.
But, in the html page it is giving this error. i want to
know how to solve this error.
i have also tried these :
# psql -h 192.168.168.56
psql: could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host 192.168.168.56 and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
and
# netstat -inp
Kernel Interface table

and
[root@perl users]# aux | grep postgres

postgres 1028 0.0 1.4 8152 1820 ? S Feb12 0:00 postgres: stats c
and
[root@perl users]# pg_ctl status
pg_ctl: no database directory or environment variable $PGDATA is
specified
i used kpackage and all the server and development installations are
there.
we recently installed sql-ledger and this relies on postgres.
But it is not connecting .do i have to check env variables. how can i
overcome this problem..
Thanks and regards,
Vivek
