Re: [Postgres-xc-general] postgres-xc 0.9.7 : failed to connect to data node/can not connect to dat

Michel,

Thanks very much for your speedy reply.

After reading your email, I realized I had forgotten to set the 
listen_addresses parameter to '*' on the coordinators and datanodes.  I 
shut down the whole postgres-xc environment, updated the postgresql.conf 
files on the coordinators and datanodes and fired everything back up 
without issue, using the -o "-i" option for the coordinator/datanodes 
startup.

After doing all this, I am still getting connection issues with datanode 
0 when trying to create a database on coordinator1.

I provided the output of the pgxc_node table as I am thinking maybe 
there are problems with the entries in this table?

Any other suggestions you may have with this issue would be greatly 
appreciated.

Phil



Here are the details:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


shutdown gtm, coord1/data1, coord2/data2
----------------------------------------

updated postgresql.conf on dbhost1 for both coord1 and data1:
------------------------------------------------------------
- listen_addresses = '*'

updated postgresql.conf on dbhost2 for both coord2 and data2:
------------------------------------------------------------
- listen_addresses = '*'


started coordinator and datanodes on each db host adding the -o "-i" as 
per your recommendation:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
dbhost1:
     pg_ctl start -D /home/postgres/datanode/data -l 
/home/postgres/datanode/log/datanode1.log -o "-i -p 15432" -Z datanode
     pg_ctl start -D /home/postgres/coordinator/data -l 
/home/postgres/coordinator/log/coordinator1.log -o "-i" -Z coordinator

dbhost2:
     pg_ctl start -D /home/postgres/datanode/data -l 
/home/postgres/datanode/log/datanode2.log -o "-i -p 15432" -Z datanode
     pg_ctl start -D /home/postgres/coordinator/data -l 
/home/postgres/coordinator/log/coordinator2.log -o "-i" -Z coordinator


checked to make sure postgres was running on dbhost1:
