Re: PostgreSQL under Cygwin...

It gives me

psql: could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host superfly and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

if I use the --host option without using the -i option when starting
postmaster. However, if I start postmaster with the -i option and use
the --host option on psql, I get the same error message as stated before and
the PostgreSQL service stops.
