Re: Error connecting to PgSQL server

Dear Juan,

In $PGDATA/pg_hba.conf you need to define which hosts have what kind of 
access. Here's a sample pg_hba.conf:

# TYPE          DATABASE        USER    IP-ADDRESS      IP-MASK METHOD
local           all             all trust
host            all             all     127.0.0.1       255.255.255.255 
trust
host            all             all     12.34.56.78     255.255.255.255 
md5
host            all             all     192.168.1.0     255.255.255.0 md5


Hope this helps solving the problem... after altering this pg_hba.conf, 
you need to restart your database...

PgSQLserver
 


Hello,
I am writing to you because I need some advice. I have a Mandrake 10 box 
running PgSQL server, Webmin, PgAdmin, and PgAccess. I used Webmin to 
start up the server, configured the allowed hosts and users, connects all 
ok. The data I entered is:

Allowed Hosts

Local Connections     All databases    All users   No authentication


Users       Requires pass?       Can create databases?              Can 
create users?            Valid until

postgres         No                                    Yes        Yes           Forever
root                 No                                    Yes      Yes                    Forever

Webmin detects the server ok, and all works. But pgAdmin tells this error:

Error connecting to the server. Connection refused.
Is the server running on host 127.0.0.1 and accepting TCP/IP connections 
on port 5432?


I don't know why pgAdmin says this. pgAccess does the same thing.

Hope you can guide me in solving this thing.
Thanks in advance.


Juan
