Hi all, After wasting about half a day I thought I'd ask you for help. I have Fedora Core 3 box that came with postgresql 7.4.6 installed. Locally I have no problems connecting to the database and running psql. I need to set up an ODBC connection from my Windows box. Here is what I've done:
1. In postgresql.conf tcpip_socket = true (By the way does this eliminate the need to start postgres with -i option, see item 3 below ?) 2. in pg_hba.conf local all all trust host all all 10.1.9.0 255.255.255.0 trust host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trust The ip address of the windows box is 10.1.9.15 and ip address of the server is 10.1.9.27 3. in /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql su -l postgres -s /bin/sh -c"/usr/bin/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA -o '-i' -p /usr/bin/postmaster start > /dev/null 2>&1 "</dev/null Note, I do have -i option. 4. I ran netstat -na | grep 5432 and it tells me that postgres is listening on that port. Every time I try to connect via ODBC from windows I get an error: Could not connect to the server Could not connect to remote socket I'd appreciate any help.
