Hi,

I just installed a program called moteview by crossbow technologies.
It uses
postgreSQL 8.0.0-rc1 for its database. There is something wrong as
when I
launched the program it automaticly gives me an error that the
database is
not available. The postgreSQL database installation is bundled
together with
installation disk. I read one of the mail discussion that that
version of
sql is no longer supported so I upgrade to version 8.3. The moteview
program
has a script called "resetdb.cmd" (script is given below) whereby
as I understand it is to set the database for the program as server :
localhost, database : task, user : tele, and password : tiny. When I
run
the resetdb.cmd program. The error below shows up:

psql: could not connect to server: connection refused
(0x0000274D/10061). Is
the server running on host "localhost" and accepting TCP/IP connection
on
port 5432.

I not a database person. I "googled" the error msg and from my reading
it
has something to do with authentication....

Can I have the solution to this matter. Thanks.

Yes 8.0 is an old version, but in this instance I would use
what is bundled with the program. There have been a lot of
changes between 8.0 and 8.3 and chances are the application
will have problems with them. So first get rid of 8.3 and
reinstall the bundled app/db. Try to connect and if not
successful post the error messages here.

No way. I might run 8.0.x where x is the latest version of 8.0, but I
would not run any system I depended on on 8.0.0.rc.

It looks like the OPs problems have to do with client authentication
and what not.

I would agree with your recommendation to run the latest 8.0.x in all cases
except this one. The issue is that Moteview is an app bundled with Postgres and
seems to have some setup scripts included to get things started. I am trying to
get the OP back to the baseline setup and establish that the app works out of
the box as designed by the app developers. Once that happens then it is
possible to move forward. My guess that what is happening is cross
contamination between the set up from the original install and the manual
upgrade to 8.3. Starting from the beginning narrows the variables.

8.0 is definitely supported. 8.0.0-rc1 is NOT supported, as it was a
release candidate and is quite likely to have some nasty bugs in it.
It's why there were point releases made right up until 8.0.20
recently. And will likely be more to come. So, it wouldn't be so bad
if they were including 8.0.20. That's a supported release and you
find fewer data eating bugs as a release gets older, so even if it was
8.0.11 or something, there'd be a lot fewer hushed whispers of "oh my
god, that poor man" about it being 8.0.0-rc1.

The moteview program
has a script called "resetdb.cmd" (script is given below) whereby
as I understand it is to set the database for the program as server :
localhost, database : task, user : tele, and password : tiny. When I run
the resetdb.cmd program. The error below shows up:

By default, installations of pgsql do NOT answer tcp/ip ports. You
need to read the admin docs on what exactly to do. Quick version, in
postgresql.conf:

set listen_addresses="*"

and if 8.0.0 has it, tcp_listen or whatever that setting is near the top

in pg_hba.conf set it to allow trusted logins on 127.0.0.1 (i.e. localhost)

then restart pgsql.

Note that 8.3 may break things.

I seriously doubt it's anything more than postgresql.conf and
pg_hba.conf settings that's keep him out. While it's possible they've
built a custom database with all kinds of fancy UDFs and all, I kinda
doubt anyone with the brains to do that would be bundling 8.0.0-rc1.
But anything's possible.

It's worse than that: he's running on Windows, which means that this
is not just any rc version, but an rc for the first native Windows port.
We no longer support 8.0.anything on Windows because of the unfixable
bugs in that release.

If moteview is still shipping 8.0.rc1 to Windows customers in 2009,
I'd say that borders on criminal negligence.

I am sure that MoteView's license says otherwise.

Oh my goodness, I think I've got a case of the vapors! I'd run far
away from their stuff. God knows what logic bombs are waiting to frag
company data in the future.

At first I thought it was just mild negligence, like letting your kids
play with lawn darts, but this is kind of right up there with sitting
a toddler on the windowsill.

Oh yeah, and I fully expect this product to fail to work with 8.3 due
to issues with the removed automatic conversions of types there. I'm
sure it's chock full of:

substring(datefield,12,6) to grab some part of a date stamp and such.

By now the OP knows 8.0.0-rc1 is not the version to be running. The issue is
getting the app to run. Since we are talking a bundled app it is probably best
to go back to the original bundle. Starting anywhere else brings in a lot of
assumptions and we know where that leads. Once the original bundle is up and
running then we can take a look at the setup and make the changes necessary to
move to a better version, if possible. As your later email states there could
be problems with type incompatibilities. The OP seems to be new to Postgres and
rather than throw a bunch of changes at him all at once, I thought it best to
go step by step.

Do you have listen_adress in postgresql.conf set properly i.e. to the
listen to the adress from where connection is comming or just * to
listen to all adresses.
this postgresql.conf file is in PG_DDIR
