Re: Connecting to a remote db server

Review the postgresql.conf and chek the "listen_adress" parameter.

listen_adress="localhost"

Change localhost by *

Example: listen_adress="*"

Oh, well, you need to specify the hostname or address of the remote server:

psql -h db01 test

Otherwise, it's just trying to connect to localhost, as you've seen.

You might need to adjust pg_hba.conf on the db01 server to allow
connections from your app01 client host.
