All, I have read message after message and searched the internet
for hours, yet I still can’t get a remote computer to connect to port
5432 on my Fedora Core 3 system running Postgresql 7.4.7. What I have done: 1) Stopped the iptables service 2) Modified postgresql.conf and added the following lines tcpip_socket
= true port
= 5432 3) Modified pg_hba.conf and added host
all all (my ip
address) 255.255.255.255
trust 4) Modified the postgresql startup script to use the –i
flag 5) Verified that postmaster is running with the –i
flag… ps ax | grep postmaster output: 4259
pts/1 S 0:00
/usr/bin/postmaster -p 5432 -D /var/lib/pgsql/data –i 6) Tried to verify that the server was listening on port
5432 only to find out that it isn’t. The netstat output follows: tcp
0 0
127.0.0.1:8438
0.0.0.0:*

127.0.0.1:5432

LISTEN As you can see it is only listening
on the loopback interface I’m quite certain the issue is how I am starting the
service, but I’ve added the –i flag. I’m all out of ideas on this one. Any and all
help is greatly appreciated. Regards, Bart |
