Re: psql remote database access

Yes, that worked. Just had to restart server process, now it’s working.

Hi,

 

It is written on error log of psql. Postgres service sees your IP as 10.0.0.254, not 10.42.42.16. Most probably there is a NAT between your box and Postgres service. You should add following entry to pg_hba.conf and restart Postgres.

 

host    all             all             10.0.0.254/32          md5

 

Best regards.

 

 

 

İyi çalışmalar.

Im sure this has been addressed somewhere, but I wasn’t able to locate any answers.

I have a postgres database running on a different host and I need to access it remotely from another box.

 

Boxes are CentOS 6, and I opened the firewall port 5432 on the database server host.

Also, on the database server host, I made the following entries to /var/lib/pgsql/9.6/data/pg_hba.conf.

local   all             all                                     md5

host    all             all             127.0.0.1/32            md5

host    all             all             10.42.42.16/24          md5

 

When I try to use psql to attach to the remote database, I get the following error:

[root@host1 ~]# psql -h host2 -p 5432 -U postgres

psql: FATAL:  no pg_hba.conf entry for host "10.0.0.254", user "postgres", database "postgres", SSL off
