Hello
Everything was working fine 4 days ago and now I can't connect via the GUI nor can I dial out. I've reset the VM instance but I get this error message when trying to login via the GUI. I can SSH into the device. I'm running FusionPBX on a Proxmox VM server.

error: SQLSTATE[08006] [7] connection to server at "localhost" :):1), port 5432 failed: Connection refused Is the server running on that host and accepting TCP/IP connections? connection to server at "localhost" (127.0.0.1), port 5432 failed: Connection refused Is the server running on that host and accepting TCP/IP connections?

Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.

Is postgresql started?

# systemctl status postgresql

If not, try starting it.

# systemctl start postgresql

Hello
postgresql seems to be started.

pbx2@FusionPBX:~$ systemctl status postgresql

Update:
I was reading through some of the forum posts and I did a "netstat -nal". Don't know if that helps.

netstat -nal
Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:443 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 288 192.168.2.10:22 192.168.2.52:57870 ESTABLISHED

I also did a "cat /etc/postgresql/13/main/postgresql.conf" and found:

# - Connection Settings -

#listen_addresses = 'localhost' # what IP address(es) to listen on;
# comma-separated list of addresses;
# defaults to 'localhost'; use '*' for all
# (change requires restart)
port = 5432 # (change requires restart)

Again, I don't know if this helps. Thanks.

Further update:

I stopped then started the service:

root@FusionPBX:~# systemctl stop postgresql
root@FusionPBX:~# systemctl start postgresql
root@FusionPBX:~# systemctl status postgresql

Well it's hard to say what's gone wrong. If you followed the standard Debian installation it shouldn't really have an issue.

Does the fusionpbx PostgreSQL credentials work? You can get them from /etc/fusionpbx/config.php and then try to access the database with:

# psql -h 127.0.0.1 -U fusionpbx -W -d fusionpbx

Initial error message

psql: error: connection to server at "127.0.0.1", port 5432 failed: Connection refused
Is the server running on that host and accepting TCP/IP connections?

Then I switch to su and did a:

systemctl stop postgresql

Followed by a:

systemctl start postgresql

Then a:

systemctl status postgresql

Verified the DB is running:

● postgresql.service - PostgreSQL RDBMS

Main PID: 147613 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

Then:

psql -h 127.0.0.1 -U fusionpbx -W -d fusionpbx

And received:

psql: error: connection to server at "127.0.0.1", port 5432 failed: Connection refused
Is the server running on that host and accepting TCP/IP connections?

Back to square one again. Any other suggestions? Thanks for the help.

Oh sorry, because of the weird way postgresql is packaged on Debian, the service is actually:

$ sudo systemctl status postgresql@13-main.service

It's possible the pg_hba.conf has been modified. It should look like, specifically the first 127.0.0.1/32 line:

Code:
# TYPE  DATABASE        USER            ADDRESS                 METHOD

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local   all             all                                     peer
# IPv4 local connections:
host    all             all             127.0.0.1/32            md5
# IPv6 local connections:
host    all             all             ::1/128                 md5
# Allow replication connections from localhost, by a user with the
# replication privilege.
local   replication     all                                     peer
host    replication     all             127.0.0.1/32            md5
host    replication     all             ::1/128                 md5

It's possible the daemon is dead or locked up. Worth checking the logs: $ sudo cat /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-13-main.log

Looking at your netstat, it appears to be dead. That might just be netstat though, I use 'ss' instead:

Code:
hfoster@pbx:~$ sudo ss -nltp | grep postgres
LISTEN 0      244        127.0.0.1:5432      0.0.0.0:*    users:(("postgres",pid=133763,fd=6)) 
LISTEN 0      244            [::1]:5432         [::]:*    users:(("postgres",pid=133763,fd=5))

First command I used was ss -nltp | grep postgres

Returned nothing.

Then:
systemctl status postgresql@13-main.service

Verified the pg_hba.conf. Looks the same as your example.

Active: failed (Result: protocol).

This isn't good, you'll need to look back through the journal using 'journalctl' to see where or what caused the process to fail on a restart of the postgres serivce. I wouldn't be surprised if it's to with a PID file.
