Re: Error: The database does not exist on the server

A couple things need to be done.  On the server, PostgreSQL needs to be
started with the -i option (or set enable_tcpip to true in
/var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql..conf).

/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf needs to be edited to allow certain IP
addresses (the client machines).

See the Adminstratior Guide for more information.
