Re: Can not connect to database in Workgroup-Net on Windows-XP

["Shoaib Mir" <shoaibmir(at)gmail(dot)com>]

I can understand the exact error as its not in english :) but it seems like an authentication problem. Please change 'md5' to 'trust' in pg_hba.conf file and then use: 

pg_ctl -D <path to data folder> reload

That will reload the settings for authentication.

Now once the settings are reloaded try reconnecting to the database and it should go fine this time....

Hi folks,

i have a workgroup (not a classic server)  with Windows-XP-machines:

the database server machine contains the line
host   all    all   0.0.0.0  0.0.0.0    md5
in the file pg_hba.conf
and
listen_addresses = '*'
in the file postgresql.conf.

The clients' host file contain the line
nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn Labor where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnnn is the IP-adress of
the database server machine and /Labor /is the machine's name.

If i start PGAdmin III on the 'client' machine i can not connect to
the database on the machine Labor no matter wether i use the machine's name
or the IP-adress. Instead i get the message

"Zum Server ist keine Verbindung möglich,

oder Login/Passwort sind falsch.

Die Anmeldung wurde abgelehnt."

Please help me. What to do ?

mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards,
