I'm back... finally!

Sorry if this is a repeat, but I can't seem to find it easily in the 
archives.  I'm returning to the world of Revolution with the latest 
2.6.1.

I'm trying to use the database APIs to connect to a PostgreSQL database 
on the local machine and getting messages like:


could not connect to server: Can't assign requested address
	Is the server running on host "localhost" and accepting
	TCP/IP connections on port false?


Yes, port "false" -- that's when I don't specify a port!  when I do 
specify the port, I get this:

could not translate host name "localhost:5432" to
address: No address associated with nodename


I am getting this behavior under both OS X and Windows.


Has anyone else seen this, or have any ideas?


Thank you!
