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.
