Re: Cannot connect to one specific postgres database on a server

["Matt Busby" <busby(at)condodomain(dot)com>]

I can telnet to the database and query the database…. The site that is using the database is also running fine

 

Not sure what postmaster is…. How can I check if its running? I did a google search for it, but not sure how to check it on my postgres db server

 

I don’t get any errors using telnet … I can access the db every other way it seems, just using postgres

 

If I restore/rebuild the db, will that cause the database to go down at all? I will try anything to get pgadmin working with the db… it makes my life SOOO much easier!

 

 

 

Thanks very much for taking the time to help me with this issue! Much appreciated!

 

Matt

I cannot tell you what is specificially wrong, but try the following:

 

Can you telnet to that database and query?

 

Is the postmaster running for that database?

 

Do you get any errors returned when you try to connect via telnet? What are they?

 

Is it possible your database is corrupted and you need to restore/rebuild?

Hello,

I am having trouble connecting to one specific database on my server. I can connect to the server via pgadmin and have pgadmin display 7 or 8 databases I have running on the server. I can successfully connect to all of the databases except one. This particular database I am trying to connect to will just cause pgadmin to hang/crash

 

I have been using pgadmin for over 2 years to connect to this particular database that wont connect now. This just started happening a week ago and is frustrating me so bad! I have installed/reinstalled/uninstalled about every version on pgadmin with no success. I restarted postgres on the server with no success…

 

My server is running linux, and I am using windows version of pgadmin…

 

I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP!!! THANKS SO MUCH!!!
