Greetings, one and all. I've just recently (yesterday) upgraded to tomcat4 (4.0.3-2) and am attempting to use mod_webapp (1.2.1-1) to forward Apache requests to Tomcat. Per the README, I'd added the lines below to my httpd.conf: --- WebAppConnectio

Postgres Port Problem (and other port issues)

Hello, everyone. So, here's the problem: In a nutshell, Postgres doesn't seem to be listening on port 5432 (which is where everything seems to be looking for it). Nmap confirms this, plus none of the stuff that lsof lists as being owned by postgres seems to deal with a socket (here's the dump
