A couple of thoughts/questions-
You don't need to instantiate the driver if you load it in your code, so you
can use this instead of the code you posted:
<%
Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver"); Connection conn =
java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/db_na
me", "username", "password");
%>
Does ASP actually use TCP/IP to communicate with the DB? (I'm not very
familiar with it.)
Have you tried just a plain vanilla connection to the database that doesn't
involve a JSP? Doing that would help isolate the cause to something that is
servlet/JSP-related or something that is JDBC-related.

Subject: [JDBC] jsp postgresql problems
This is my code:
<%@ page import ="java.sql.*" %>
<%
Driver drv = (Driver)Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver").newInstance();
Connection conn =
java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/db_na
me", "username", "password");
%> now the stack error i am running into is:
Connection refused. Check that the hostname and port is correct, and that
the postmaster is running with the -i flag, which enables TCP/IP networking.
i know its not the server or the way it is setup cause i can connect to the
DB in ASP? so what is wrong with the JSP? i do have the drivers installed
for postgresql cause the first error before this i was getting was that it
couldn't find the drivers (silly me forgot to reset the server).
anyone help ?
Thanks
