psql: error: could not connect to server: Connection refused

Hi folks. I cannot connect to my postgres server. I’ve run through all the directives and I still can’t understand why this isn’t showing up.

psql: error: could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "server1.local" (192.168.1.23) and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

I cannot find an open port on that box using nmap for ports 5400-6500:

Starting Nmap 7.92 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2022-07-03 19:48 EDT
Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.23
Host is up (0.00041s latency).
All 1101 scanned ports on 192.168.1.23 are in ignored states.
Not shown: 1090 filtered tcp ports (no-response), 11 filtered tcp ports (admin-prohibited)
MAC Address: D0:50:99:87:7B:4A (ASRock Incorporation)

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 5.94 seconds

listen_addresses = '*'

Here is my effective pg_hba.conf:

# TYPE DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD
local all all trust
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
local replication all trust
host replication all 127.0.0.1/32 trust
host replication all ::1/128 trust

host all user1 192.168.1.4 255.255.255.0 md5
host all user1 192.168.1.24 255.255.255.0 md5
host all user1 192.168.1.0/24 md5
host all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5

Upon restart/start of the server, it spits this out:

Jul 03 18:07:51 server1.project33.ca postmaster[2321]: 2022-07-03 18:07:51.206 EDT [2321] LOG: listening on Unix socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"
Jul 03 18:07:51 server1.project33.ca postmaster[2321]: 2022-07-03 18:07:51.213 EDT [2321] LOG: listening on Unix socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"

Those directives are the same in the server settings:

unix_socket_directories | /var/run/postgresql, /tmp | Sets the directories where Unix-domain sockets will be created.
unix_socket_group | | Sets the owning group of the Unix-domain socket.
unix_socket_permissions | 0777 | Sets the access permissions of the Unix-domain socket.

tcp_keepalives_count | 0 | Maximum number of TCP keepalive retransmits.
tcp_keepalives_idle | 0 | Time between issuing TCP keepalives.
tcp_keepalives_interval | 0 | Time between TCP keepalive retransmits.
tcp_user_timeout | 0 | TCP user timeout.

How I can get this to be visible on the LAN and allow me to connect? For some reason TCP sockets aren’t showing up, yet I’ve set listen_addresses to '*'. I can also ssh into the box, so TCP sockets are running and runctional.

Cheers, Bee
