Re: problems connecting remote postgresql server

The error message sounded more like that particular port Postgres is
listening (default is 5432) to is not open on the firewall. Check with
your network admin to make sure that particular port is opened. Also,
ensure that your pg_hba.conf file is configured properly to allow client
connections.

Subject: [NOVICE] problems connecting remote postgresql server


We've recently installed postgresql8 in windows, created a database and
started the service from start menu. We are using pgadmin.

Then we want to connect to it from another windows machine from pgadmin
also, but we get this error:

"Ha ocurrido unerror:
could not connect to server: connection time out...
Is the port opened...?"

Or something like this.

We think the problem doesn't reside on firewall, because we've been able
to
open ports for another appications in this machine and connect to them
remotely.
What's the problem? Anyone can help me, please?

Thank you in advance.
