Hi All,
I have the following problem.
I am able to access a PostgreSQL database only as "localhost". If I try
to open psql from a different machine with -h option, then I get the
following error message.
The database resides on a server running Fedora Core 4 and PostgreSQL
8.1.1 server.
I am trying to access the database from another server running RedHat 9
and PostgreSQL 7.3.2.
Command
psql -U postgres -h server-name database-name
Error
psql: could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "server-name" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
Similarly, I am unable to access the database using PHP's postgres
API, with the host set as "server-name". However, I am able to locally
access if I specify host as "localhost".
I need the PostgreSQL server on the machine which contains the database
to accept socket connections.
Any help in this regard will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
