That's pretty useless :-( ... a complaint to the webapp's author
wouldn't be out of line.

In the meantime, I'd bet on either a firewall blocking the connection or
a missing/incorrect entry in the server's pg_hba.conf file for the
remote connection.  Try turning on log_connections in the server and
watching its log file when you try the webapp.  If you see nothing at
all then it's probably a firewall problem.  If you do get a log entry
then it should tell you what's wrong.
