Hi, I'm trying to reach my postgres database via a remote connection. Yet my connection is refused when I try to do that. I'm using Ubuntu Feisty Following lines are now in my pg_hba.conf-file: # TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD # "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only local all all ident sameuser # IPv4 local connections: host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5 # IPv6 local connections: host all all ::1/128 md5 # Connections for all PCs on the subnet # # TYPE DATABASE USER IP-ADDRESS IP-MASK METHOD local all all 127.0.0.1/32 255.255.255.0 trust When I try the following command: netstat -nlp | grep 5432 I see my subnet mask isn't included: root@gis-webserver:~# netstat -nlp | grep 5432 tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:5432 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 8292/postmaster unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 27162 8292/postmaster /var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432 Can someone help me out ? Thanks ! Steven
