Hi Jeff, It looks as though your postgresql db server configuration is incomplete/incorrect. You must to edit the postgresql.conf and pg_hba.conf config files to have a fully functional db for FOSSology BEFORE you try to install & configure FO. There is a brief description of this in the INSTALL<http://fossology.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fossology/trunk/fossology/INSTALL?revision=3690&view=markup> file.
(There is exhaustive online documentation for PostgreSQL<http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/index.html> install and configuration.) The most important things are: 1. the listen address in postgresql.conf listen_addresses = '*' 2. client authentication configuration file (pg_hba.conf) # IPv4 local connections: #host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5 host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 md5 Restart the db server and try to connect to the db as user postgres: postg...@mysys:~$ psql Welcome to psql 8.3.12, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal. Type: \copyright for distribution terms \h for help with SQL commands \? for help with psql commands \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query \q to quit postgres=# If this is successful, try connecting as user fossy (password fossy). If either of these fail, check the postgres log file for errors.
