Recently, I upgraded one of my servers to FC5 from FC4. This upgrade also
upgraded postgresql to 8.1.3. The upgrade was flawless. Unfortunately, I
cannot get dblink to work in postgresql. I created two fresh databases and
tried... still no luck. I keep getting the following error:
bulbulbo=# select dblink_connect('hostaddr=127.0.0.1 dbname=bulbulfo
user=bulbul password=password');
ERROR: could not establish connection
DETAIL: could not connect to server: Permission denied
Is the server running on host "127.0.0.1" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
My pg_hba.conf is as follows:
----------------------
local all all ident sameuser
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 password
host all all 192.168.0.0/24 password
host all all 10.1.2.0/24 password
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::1/128 sameuser
--------------------
The error seems to be like client authentication error. I researched and
found that the message "could not establish connection" seems to defined in
dblink.c, and it gets triggred when it is unable to create connection to the
database. I though this may be happening because libpq is not working
properly. So, I compiled a simple program, written in C, that uses libpq and
it seems to work fine.
I have kind of hit the roadblock. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
