Обсуждение: jdbc connection problem

hi everybody,

i have a problem connecting to postgres using the jdbc driver.

took the org.postgresql.test.jdbc2.DriverTest and modified it to use

    String url = "jdbc:postgresql://localhost/testdb";
    String user = "username";
    String pass = "password";


i get the exception
org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: Connection Refused. Check that the hostname and port are correct and that the
postmasteris accepting TCP/IP connections. 

however, using
psql -h localhost -U username -W
and then specifying the password works. so i do not see how this could be a general problem with postgresql listening
onthe wrong interface or not accepting connections from the local host. 

btw, i use psql 8.1.4 on ubuntu, jdbc is postgresql-8.1-408.jdbc2.jar

any ideas?

thanks,
david

Debian variants often have multiple servers installed on multiple ports.
Try adding explicit port numbers to both psql and jdbc connections to
ensure that you're getting the same thing.

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.)
