Re: debugging pg_connect

I suspect that PostgreSQL would log anything related to a network connection problem if the error logging level was set correctly. If you don't see any of those perhaps it is a networking issue. You might need to try an ethernet capture tool like Wireshark or perhaps something like tcpflow. John On Apr 26, 2007, at 4:26 AM, pobox@verysmall.org wrote:

Hello, since we upgraded to the latest php and PostgreSQL - we started to get frequent pg_connect() errors. What is sure is that they are not caused by insufficient connections - PostgreSQL reports 100 connections available and less than 10 used when the pg_connect fails. pg_last_error() and the other error handling functions operate on connection. So they do not seem useful when pg_connect() fails. In the PostgreSQL documentation I could find out how to log successful connections, but not how to login failed connections. Could somebody advice me on possible ways to test?
