Hi all,
I am new to this list and postgresql and pgaccess as well.

I have installed postgres6.4 and pgaccess on my Linux (Slackware 3.4)
machine.
postgresql is running okay and the regression test were all OK.

I am trying to use your very convenient TCL/TK interface but am ending
up with a
"Connection to database failed" message.

I tested if there was something wrong with the postmaster deamon my
running the
following command on the terminal

>psql -u -h localhost template1
  (Psql with authencate and  hostname options)

and could connect to the template1 database without any problems.

My .pgaccessrc file is shown below;

----------------------
username

lastport 5432
autoload 1
tvfont
lasthost localhost
lastdb template1
password
rows 200
-----------------------

Can you please advice me about how to get the pgaccess to connect to ny
database.

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards

Is your postmaster running with -i option ?

I start my postmaster with

postmaster -i -o -e &

"-o -e" stands for options european date style.

But -i allows connections through tcp/ip ports.
