Hi- I'm posting this summary for a person that I've been corresponding with off-list:
He is trying to use JDBC, so he wants to turn on the TCP/IP socket. The platform is Postgresql 7.2 on SuSe 8.0 If he starts the postmaster with the -i flag, he can get a connection. If he sets tcpip_socket = 1 in postgresql.conf, but doesn't use the -i flag on startup, it doesn't work. So far, my suggestions have been to make sure the postgresql.conf file is in the data directory and is readable. Beyond this I can't think of anything, but I've never used the SuSe distribution, so there may be something odd about the directory structure that I'm missing. Is there a SuSe user on the list that can help?
