Man, that's one unhelpful error message, isn't it :-(

Have you tried looking in the postmaster log to see if the server is
reporting anything about the failed connection? (Maybe turn on
log_connections just to be sure that it should log something.)

If there is nothing in the postmaster log, that suggests that the
fossology connection isn't going where you think it's going. You
might have to resort to strace'ing fossology to see where it's
trying to connect to.
