Subject: Re: [pgadmin-hackers] pgadmin3 stops working when trying to access/show
I wonder why this fundamental problem comes up at this late stage.
I did send email about it on Thu 17/07/2003 13:11, Subject: "[pgadmin-hackers] Editgrid text input bug" nut I guess it got overlooked in the other content. I only remembered about it myself when I saw Christian's message.
Certainly it works on XP, as it does on W2K, and my SuSE 8.2 (2.4.20) has no problem either. One common thing is that the non-working systems use libpq from 7.3.3, maybe that's the problem. I'll be checking now with 7.4, before I try to ssh/X to snake. I tried snake's libpq.a on my system, but got unresolved externals.
Haven't run ssh/X so far, can you give me a short how-to? My f/w already maps port22 statically. If I didn't need ssh, I'd EXPORT DISPLAY=... and run.
I cannot test from here for firewall reasons, but basically (iirc):
1) On your local PC, add /etc/X0.hosts containing the IP address
80.176.1.58 2) ssh to snake and do $ export DISPLAY=myhost:0
3) Fire up X on your PC.
4) Run pgAdmin on snake.
I do not run X through ssh (there's little point, even if someone evesdrops (which is *very* difficult) there is not exactly anything secret being transferred. Also, I run X from Cygwin on my laptop - on Linux you might use xhost instead of the /etc/X0.hosts file.
Don;t forget to open/forward the X port on your firewall!!
OK, that's the way without tunnelling, got it running now. Had to use 'xhost +snake.pgadmin.org' BTW.
Dave, do you by chance use encrypted connection? Recent checks point to problems with this.
Regards, Andreas
