Re: postgres connection issues

Hi

 

Probably this:

 

Add to your  pg_hba.conf

 

# IPv4 local connections:

host   all              all             127.0.0.1/32            trust

host   all              all             <ip of your windows machine>/32     trust

Dear all:

 

I searched the web and all what I tried did not work. So please bear with me:

 

I trying to access a database on a linux machine from a windows computer using SQuirrel:

postgres version 9.4.5

Squirrell version 3.7

 

However, I am getting the error message on SQuirrel:

Connection to host:5432 refused. Check that the hostname and port are correct and that the postmaster is accepting TCP/IP connections

 

This is what I have done:

a) Changed postgresql.conf: listen_addresses = '*'

b) edited pg_hba.conf: host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust

    host all all 0.0.0.0/0 trust

c) The server is running and listening at the correct port on the linux site:

   ps -efl | grep postgres

    netstat -nlp | grep postgres

 

What else could I try to enable a communication?

 

Any suggestion is highly appreciated.

 

Best,

 

Markus
