Re: Connection Problem

Hi Oliver,

Thanks for the reply.

Output from netstat shows port 5432 as being listened. Don't know what
to try next.

Sometimes when I shut down my laptop the "stop" messages are displayed.
I noticed last night that pg_ctl could not find the postmaster.pid file,
even though PGHOST and PGDATA variables are set. I'm starting it with
the -i and -D options with -D pointing explicitly to the PGDATA path
using the full path name. Could not finding a postmaster.pid file be
linked in any way with my problem??

Cheers,
Rob
