Re: [GENERAL] Loosing confidence in my own abilities...

When you say "system", I'm assuming your talking
about the server? And when you say "reinstalled" I'm
assuming your talking about PostgreSQL?

If this is the case, did your reinstallation start
the server with the -i switch to allow for TCP/IP
connections?

Can you telnet into the server and access PostgreSQL
through psql?

If you can telnet into the server and access the
database locally, its either a missing -i switch or
a bad pg_hba.conf entry.


Hope that helps,
