# Here is my conf on the DR server (where I am running bdr_init_copy)
bdr.connections = 'primary'
bdr.primary_dsn = 'dbname=my_db host=primary_ip user=my_username port=5432'
bdr.primary_init_replica = on
bdr.primary_replica_local_dsn = 'dbname=my_db user=my_username port=5432'

# For reference, here is the conf on my Primary server:
bdr.connections = 'dr'
bdr.dr_dsn = 'dbname=my_db host=dr_ip user=my_username port=5432'

What was your bdr config at this point? The error message indicates that it
tries to connect to port 5432 on localhost - but the copy was taken from
'main_node_ip'. Perhaps you forgot to specify th ehost in the config?

What does 'git describe --tags' return?
