21504	GeoDjango swallows connection errors as version failures	paultag@…	Baptiste Mispelon	"I'm getting a:

    django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Cannot determine PostGIS version for database ""glare"". GeoDjango requires at least PostGIS version 1.3. Was the database created from a spatial database template?

but, when I look at the actual exception thrown by the version check:

./manage.py syncdbcould not connect to server: Connection refused
	Is the server running on host ""127.0.0.1"" and accepting
	TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

It'd be great to be slightly more smart about this :)"	Cleanup/optimization	closed	GIS	1.6	Normal	fixed			Accepted	0	0	0	0	1	0
