Since I have it anyway, I want to strengthen the security by moving non-Internet connections internal of that firewall so only Apache is exposed to the Internet and the databases, etc, are internal. This is a Unix domain socket connection so I don't think the firewall should get involved. Since you raised the question, I added port 5432 to the open list in firewalld but it didn't make any difference, still not connecting. > > > HTH, > > > > Joe -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
