Re: Emergency - postgre is not working

Anika,

thanks for the complete error description, I bet the culprit is in here:

I recently updated my  norton anti-virus and norton goback - and up until then - everything for my sambc was working fine now when I try and open sambc and I received the error message:

X 2006-07-09 22:09:19 [CORE] Connection to database failed (could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061)
Is the server running on host "localhost" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

We had many times trouble with antivirus and similiar products interfering with the connections between pgadmin / psql and the Postrges Server.

I recommend to NOT remove the postgres account!!

Please try to configure Norton whatever to allow connections on Port 5432. Or roll back that update.

Best wishes,

Harald

on different matter: 
EuroPython 2006 is over. It was a GREAT conference. If you missed it, now you can prepare budget for visiting EuroPython 2007.
