<DIV class=RTE>I've followed the installation instructions for 7.4.3 on Fedora Core 1 Linux on a Pentium II 233 system, and it's installed fine. I've instructed the configure tool to use TCP port 5321 during the installation.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>I tried to create a test database with createdb, and this is the message I get:</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>createdb: could not connect to database template1: could not connect to server: Connection refused</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> Is the server running on host <IP address> and accepting <BR> TCP/IP connections on port 5321?<BR></DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>I've got PGHOSTADDR set to <IP address>, which is the correct address for my Linux machine, and PGPORT set to 5321, and the PostgreSQL server is set to start with the -i switch.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>I can't think of anything else that it could be - I had it working before without specifying a port during the configuration phase, but I need the database running to test a customer's application, which is expecting the server to be listening to a specific port.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>I haven't found anything else useful in the documentation other than setting PGHOSTADDR and PGPORT in the environment, but can anyone else come up with something I can check?</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Thanks in advance,</DIV>
