Hi, I am new to PosGreSql and have problem connecting to PostGreSql from a machine with pslodbc driver. I don't know what is wrong but in my simple code to connect to the database using ODBCConnection from the server machine, it does not send out error message when I specify the server as 'localhost' but when I set the server as 'Dbsvr' in the connection string then it sent out ODBC error that it could not connect to data source, could not connect ot remote socket. I would appreciate if anyone can enlighten me. My postgresql.conf is below: " #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # FILE LOCATIONS #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # The default values of these variables are driven from the -D command line # switch or PGDATA environment variable, represented here as ConfigDir. # data_directory = 'ConfigDir' # use data in another directory # hba_file = 'ConfigDir/pg_hba.conf' # the host-based authentication file # ident_file = 'ConfigDir/pg_ident.conf' # the IDENT configuration file # If external_pid_file is not explicitly set, no extra pid file is written. # external_pid_file = '(none)' # write an extra pid file #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # CONNECTIONS AND AUTHENTICATION #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # - Connection Settings - #listen_addresses = '*' # what IP interface(s) to listen on; # defaults to localhost, '*' = any port = 5432 max_connections = 100 # note: increasing max_connections costs about 500 bytes of shared # memory per connection slot, in addition to costs from shared_buffers # and max_locks_per_transaction. #superuser_reserved_connections = 2 #unix_socket_directory = 'software-labs.net' #unix_socket_group = 'software-labs.net' #unix_socket_permissions = 0777 # octal #rendezvous_name = '' # defaults to the computer name #tcpip_socket = true # - Security & Authentication - #authentication_timeout = 60 # 1-600, in seconds #ssl = false #password_encryption = true #krb_server_keyfile = '' #db_user_namespace = false " Thank you in advance, Sunny ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
