hi, i'm trying to create a connection from a postgres 8.0.0 client to a remote server running postgres 7.4.6 that requires ssl. this connection worked on the client machine when connecting using a 7.4.6 postgres client, and still works when connecting from a 3rd machine with 7.4.6. so i think that narrows it down to some change in the new postgres 8.0.0 client. client was configured with ./configure --with-openssl. psql (lack of) output: $ psql -U user -h remoteIP db psql: [j@localhost]$ php output: Warning: pg_connect() [function.pg-connect]: Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: in ... for each failed connection, the server log contains the line: LOG: could not initialize SSL connection: No SSL error reported there is no root.crt file on the server, and no certificates present on the client. server tuns fedora core 1, openssl-0.9.7a-33.10 (rpm), client runs fedora core 3, openssl-0.9.7a-40 (rpm). i'm not sure where to go from here, any help appreciated. cheers, jackson -- Play Alienballs at www.j.uklinux.net ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
