HI Adrian, Also what do the standby server logs show while you are trying to connect?
The logs show that pg_basebackup competed successfully. But then something goes wrong. LOG: database system was interrupted; last known up at 2015-04-09 19:22:50 > GMT > LOG: entering standby mode > LOG: redo starts at 0/A000028 > LOG: consistent recovery state reached at 0/A0000F0 -- *Volkan Unsal* *web and mobile development* volkanunsal.com <http://bit.ly/1h1ebjy>
