As already noted, providing no more detail than "doesn't seem to work" is a good way to guarantee you won't get any useful responses. I'll suggest two likely possibilities though: * you forgot to start the postmaster with the option to make it listen for TCP connections (tcpip_socket or listen_addresses depending on PG vintage) * you've got the kernel firewall configured in a way that doesn't let through any packets to port 5432. (I believe this is default on most RHEL/Fedora versions :-() regards, tom lane
