Re: Remote access

Hi,

I am getting this error when I try to access the database in another computer within the same network.

could not connect to server: Connection timed out (0x0000274C/10060). Is the server running on host "XX.XX.XX.XX" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

pg_hba.conf changes:

host    all         all         10.30.10.152/32          trust

host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32          md5

host    all         all         0.0.0.0/0          trust

**********************************************************************************

My postgresql.conf file line:

listen_addresses = '*'

Netstat details:
TCP    127.0.0.1:5432         0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING

I have disabled all the firewall. Can someone help me with this error?

Thanks,
Abubaker

correct.

Not correct. It should display 0.0.0.0:5432. Did you restart postgres
after you changed postgresql.conf?

Connection timed out sounds like a firewall dropping packets, though. It
should be "Connection refused". But try to make it listen on 0.0.0.0
first.

Hi,
Thanks for the information. But how do I change the listening ip address to 0.0.0.0

Thanks again,

Simply restart postgres.

Your
listen_addresses = '*'
in postgresql.conf should do it. I suppose, you forgot to restart
postgresql (reload might not be enough).

I restarted my service and the netstat now shows the correct details.

TCP 0.0.0.0:5432 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING

But its still showing the same error. I am trying to connect with the "Add Server" method in pgAdmin III. I am using postgresql in windows.

Thanks,

Looks good.

Sounds like some firewall inbetween. Open a command line and try the
following to check basic network connectivity:

1. ping your_server
and if that works
2. telnet your_server 5432

Are you sure you don't have a firewall on the client or inbetween?

HTH,

Tino.
