Connection refused with postgresql using psycopg2

Question

psycopg2.OperationalError: could not connect to server: Connection refused

Is the server running on host “45.32.1XX.2XX” and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

Here,I’ve open my sockets.

tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:5432          0.0.0.0:*  LISTEN      11516/postgres                
tcp6       0      0 ::1:5432                :::*       LISTEN      11516/postgres

I googled that I should modify this pg_hba.conf，but in my postgresqlroot files, I didn’t find this file at all.

Also I’ve succeed in connecting my another server.

Thanks.

Here,I’ve modified the pg_hba.conf,updated thishost all all 218.3.A.B trust and reloaded.But it didn’t work either.

Your netstat output shows that postgres is listening on 127.0.0.1, but your error suggests you are trying to connect to 45.32.1XX.2XX. I am pretty sure you have already diagnosed your problem.

You will need to modify the listen_addresses setting your postgresql.conf file (not pg_hba.conf). The postgresql.conf file is found in your postgresql data directory, which is often something like /var/lib/postgresql/data or /var/lib/pgsql/data.

The listen_addresses parameter is documented here.

1. Modify two configure files
# vi /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf
 Replace the line:
listen_addresses = 'localhost'  -> listen_addresses = '*'
# vi /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf
 Add the line at the very end:
host all all 0.0.0.0/0 trust
(If IPv6:
host all all ::/0 trust) 
2. Restart the database service
# service postgresql restart
3. Disable the firewall
# rcSuSEfirewall2 stop
# chkconfig SuSEfirewall2 off
# chkconfig SuSEfirewall2_init off

Uncommenting listen_address line and introducing ‘*’ worked for me. In the beginning was working without it (gunicorn with Postgres database)
