Обсуждение: Add server error

Hi there,

I have problem to add server by using the IP address like 192.168.xxx.xxx. It says the server refused to listen. I
followedthe guide by adding the line at the pg-hba but still the same. 
 
Also, when I'm using the psqlodbc from the client machine, I can't connect. I can only connect using the Odbc when I'm
atthe local.
 

Hope you can give me some insight.

Thanks,
Nicole.

Thanks Fernando. I got it.
Before that, I followed the documentation, using 192.168.0.0/24 and it didn't work. Now it works.

Merry Christmas!

Check file postgresql.conf on the server. There are 2 settings,  listen_addresses and port, which define where the server will be listening to connections. Default is localhost on port 5432.
You should change it to:


Afterwards, verify the line you added to pg_hba.conf looks like this:


This will enable a client from network 192.168.x.x to connect with any user to any database. MD5 password check will be enforced.
