The backend (postgres binary executable) works fine, but I cannot run createdb <database name>, or monitor. Both exit with an error message something like: Could not connect to backend (Port = 4321). createdb failed for database foo. I suspect that the problem may be that tcp/ip loopback may not be set up properly ... I'm sure there is a document *somewhere* telling me how to set this up - could someone please tell me where?! (Or that the problem lies elsewhere). Thanks, Tim. ________________________________________________ | | | From Tim Wadsworth: Tim.Wadsworth@brunel.ac.uk | |________________________________________________| ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 2+ messages in thread

There are two possible problems: a) You do not have the postmaster running. Type: postmaster & b) Your Linux box does no loopback networking. The best idea is perhaps to get the SLACKWARE network disks, install them, and make sure, that the scripts in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 /etc/rc.d/rc.inet2 are properly called from /etc/rc.d/rc.local or /etc/rc.d/rc.M. > I'm sure there is a document *somewhere* telling me how to set this up - could > someone please tell me where?! (Or that the problem lies elsewhere). There is a NETWORK-HOWTO, which is regularly posted to the linux newsgroups, and can be found on the various ftp servers as well.
