Subject: [ADMIN] Correct configuration to access Postgres 7.3 from remote
client?
Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2007 20:42:27 -0400
First, I modified these lines in the postgresql.conf file:
tcpip_socket = true
port = 5432
virtual_host = '20.20.20.4, localhost'
You can make it listen on all clients, Or add the client IP in virtual host
to listen.
where 20.20.20.4 is the address of the postgres server. Is this needed?
Second, I modified pg_hba.conf and added this line:
host all all 20.20.20.5 255.255.255.0 trust
where 20.20.20.5 is the client machine that I need to access the
database from.
Then I call "pg_ctl reload -D data_directory" to reload the config file
changes.
Then from the client I issue:
pg_dump --host=20.20.20.4 -o mydb > remotedump
pg_dump: [archiver (db)] connection to database "mydb" failed: could not
connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "10.10.18.53" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
It looks like the server is not configured properly. Does anyone know
what I am missing?
One strange thing is the postmaster.opts file contains the following:
cat postmaster.opts
/usr/bin/postmaster '-i' '-h' '127.0.0.1'
I though it would contain '-h' '20.20.20.4, 127.0.0.1' because of my
virtual_host setting.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
