Re: pgAgent Job never starts

Oh, sorry - spotted something else - 127.0.0.1 is not the same as
localhost as far as pgpass.conf is concerned. The easiest test is
pribably to add the following to the pgpass.conf:

127.0.0.1:5432:solofamily:postgres:XXXXXX
127.0.0.1:5432:postgres:postgres:XXXXX

In production though, I would standardise your pgAgent config and
everything else to use one or the other.

Regards, Dave

It's the same error message :
"Couldn't create connection: fe_sendauth: no password supplied"
:-(

Here is the the pgAgent command line :

"D:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.1\bin\pgAgent"
INSTALL pgAgent -l 2 -u postgres -p XXXXX

hostaddr=127.0.0.1 dbname=postgres user=postgres

and the pgpass.conf file

OK, this modified pgpass.conf should do the job:

# This entry is required to connect and run the job step
localhost:5432:solofamily:postgres:XXXXXX

# This entry is required to access the pgAgent
configuration
localhost:5432:postgres:postgres:XXXXX

Install that, restart pgAgent and the errors in the
event log should vanish and the job should run.
