This is all running on Linux 6.2 on a machine with 64 meg of RAM and plenty of disk.etc/rc/d/init. I can access it with the command psql , which is nice, but PGAccess, the GUI, refuses to open it. The open command gives me the error message "Connection to database failed connect DBStart() -- connect() failed: network is unreachable Is the postmaster running (with -i) at "localhost" and accepting connections on TCP/IP port '5432'?" I do not know whther I am running the postmaster with -i. I started it with the command /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql start. I have also tried start -i. In both cases I get the response that postmaster is running -- which is why psql works. Netscape is refused by http://127.0.0.1 and by http://127.0.0.1:5432. What should I be doing about this "network is unreachable" or the "DBStart() -- connect failed"? Many thanks, -dlj.
