Oh, well, you need to specify the hostname or address of the remote server: psql -h db01 test Otherwise, it's just trying to connect to localhost, as you've seen. You might need to adjust pg_hba.conf on the db01 server to allow connections from your app01 client host. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
