Author Cant connect to psql on winxp
Wolfgang Schedl

2006-10-25, 8:24 am

Hello,

I have a postgresql-server 8.1 running on a winxp-server. I want to
connect with my ubuntu at home (in the end, it should work with a
ASP.net-program) to the db, but it fails to connect. The port is open - I
can prove this with a working telnet connection.
-----
user@pc:~$ telnet 83.xxx.xxx.xxx 5432
Trying 83.xxx.xxx.xxx...
Connected to 83.xxx.xxx.xxx.
Escape character is '^]'.
-----
The problem is, that the psql-connection fails.
-----
-----
My admin-tool for the pqsql-Server is pgadminIII. I tried to change the
pg_hba.conf and added a line with my IP-adress with the pgadminIII. The
line is correct in the pg_hba.conf.
-----
host all all 62.xxx.xxx.xxx md5
-----
In the config-file everything looks fine, but when I start
pgadminIII->Tools->Server Configuration->pg_hba.conf, it still doesn't
show this line. Could this be the problem or is it just a
pgadminIII-WinXP-bug?

Any ideas, how I could solve the problem?

Thanks

Mit freundlichen Grüssen / Best Regards

TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster

Four thigs:
1. Do You have in "postgresql.conf" in section "CONNECION AND
AUTENTICATION" active opction (default is 'localhost'):
listen_adress='*' (if You want to be more safe, read PDF with PostgreSQL
doc chapter 17)
2. You're telneting 83.xxx.xxx.xxx, but You have 62.xxx.xxx.xxx in
pg_hba.conf
3. Try using mode "open for all": 0.0.0.0/0. If You have this mode and
"listen_adress='*'" You have fully open PostgreSQL. If You have still
problems, this should be TCP/IP connection problem. If You want to be
more safe: if You are using 24 mode adress, so in pg_hba.conf You will
have: xxx.xxx.xxx.0/24, 32 mode: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/32 for more read PDF
with PostgreSQL doc (chapter 20)
4. Do You have really telnet service started on 5432 port ? I suggest to
stop this service, when You are using other service on tis same port.

With greetings
Adam

Thanks, point 3 did the trick! Seems, I have to read the documentation
better....

Sorry for the simple question and thanks again
Wolfgang

point 3 was a test, right? You are not intending to leave it that way,
of course?


[color=darkred]


you can use the telnet client to connect to any port, the telnet service
does not have to be the service that syn/acks:

& #91;postgresql@wirew
orm postgresql]$ telnet stell 25
Trying 198.82.169.14...
Connected to locust.cns.vt.edu (198.82.169.14).
Escape character is '^]'.
220 locust.cns.vt.edu ESMTP

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match

I meant, that the pga_postgres.conf-setting "listen_adress='*'" did the
trick! :-)

Thanks again
Wolfgang
