You probably need to check the F-Secure manual for details, but
presumably you need to stop the firewall from blocking port 5432 (which
is what PostgreSQL uses).
Can you connect from the maching PostgreSQL is installed on? It would be
unusual if the firewall is blocking localhost.
Oh, and you'll want to make sure the anti-virus scanner isn't scanning
the database folder too. There have been cases where av scanners
interfere with the database.
I opened the port 5432 inbound and outbound already. As far as I konw
there are some other ports for negotiation as well. I opened those up,
too. Connecting to it is not possible. The postgreSQL service is running
on the same machine, so there is no other machine I could try to connect
from.
I will give 'not scanning the directory' a shot.
Is there somebody else who is running F-Secure and postgreSQL on a Windows
PC or am I the only person with this setting?
I was able to get PostgeSQL working with F-Secure on Windows XP, but it was
INCREDIBLY slow. I was not able to resolve the problem even with the
assistance of my ISP tech support staff who supplies F-Secure as part of my
internet service package. Turning off the F-Secure service (all components)
did NOT speed things up. PostgreSQL only returned to normal when the
F-Secure software was totally uninstalled. I installed and uninstalled
F-Secure several times to duplicate the problem. I finally gave up and
installed Norton Internet Security 2008 and everything ran normally with no
special configuration required.
