I successfully added a connection to my production server (in the AWS cloud), but am having a problem connecting to my local server. When I try to connect, I get the error message box entitled “timeout” with the text “Connection to server has been lost”.

The server is indeed running (in fact, I’m connected to it by pgAdmin3 as I get this message). Here are the connection properties I’ve defined for the server:

Host Name/Address local:
Port 5432
Maintenance Database postgres
User Name jackrg
Role
SSL Mode Prefer (I also tried “Disable”)

and here are the properties from pgAdmin3, which does successfully connect:

Host local:
Port 5432
Maintenance DB postgres
Username jackrg

Note that the password is blank, I’m running OS X 10.11.6 and my local PostgreSQL server has the Version string "PostgreSQL 9.2.2 on x86_64-apple-darwin11.4.2, compiled by i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2336.9.00), 64-bit”.
