Make-initialize failure during DBI connect.connection refused

I could use some help.

I am trying to install RT3, but can never get past the make
initialize-database step. I get the following error:

Password: DBI connect(‘dbname=template1;host=localhost’,‘postgres’,…)
failed: PQconnectPoll() – connect() failed: Connection refused at
//opt/rt3/sbin/rt-set
up-database line 80
Failed to connect to dbi:Pg:dbname=template1;host=localhost as postgres:
PQconnectPoll() – connect() failed: Connection refused at
//opt/rt3/sbin/rt-setup-data
base line 80, line 1.
make: *** [initialize-database] Error 255

I have Apache 1.2.34 and mod_perl 1.27. Everythings seems ok when I
check for intalled modules (see below), and I have a valid Postgresql
user and password defined in the ./configure statement. I can run
the psql client with no problem. I would appreciate any advice or help
on this problem.

Thanks,

Mat

Congratulations. RT has been installed.

You must now configure RT by editing /opt/rt3/etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm.

(You will definitely need to set RT’s database password before continuing.
Not doing so could be very dangerous)

After that, you need to initialize RT’s database by running
’make initialize-database’
root@isd_2:/tmp/rt/rt-3-0-3 > make initialize-database
/usr/local/bin/perl //opt/rt3/sbin/rt-setup-database --action init --dba
postgres --prompt-for-dba-password
In order to create a new database and grant RT access to that database,
this script needs to connect to your Pg instance on localhost as postgres.
Please specify that user’s database password below. If the user has no
database
password, just press return.

Password: DBI connect(‘dbname=template1;host=localhost’,‘postgres’,…)
failed: PQconnectPoll() – connect() failed: Connection refused at
//opt/rt3/sbin/rt-set
up-database line 80
Failed to connect to dbi:Pg:dbname=template1;host=localhost as postgres:

base line 80, line 1.

Perhaps you don’t have postgres set to listen to TCP connections?On Wed, Jul 02, 2003 at 10:42:19AM -0700, Mat Brletic wrote:
