Question

So I had PostgreSQL working in Ubuntu 11.04 using 8.4(?), however, when I upgraded it also upgraded PostgreSQL to 9.1 and now I can’t connect using JDBC.

I added the following to my pg_hba.conf

host    all             all             127.0.0.1/32            trust
host    all             all             0.0.0.0/0               trust

and the following to my postgres.conf…

listen_addresses = '*'

but I get the following connecting with SQuirrel

My Local PostgresSQL: Connection refused. Check that the hostname and port are correct and that the postmaster is accepting TCP/IP connections.

Any ideas?

Per this site the default port is 5432, however, per the postgres.conf file that came installed by default the port is set to 5433…

port = 5433

So if someone else has this problem try the new port.

I think it has to do with the install incrementing the port when it sees the existing 8.4
