Re: Connect to server PG from laptop java app

Also, I don't know if this applies to windows systems, but on linux systems
you have to also modify postgresql.conf
On my system, it is in the same directory as pg_hba.conf
looks like this:

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# CONNECTIONS AND AUTHENTICATION
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# - Connection Settings -

listen_addresses = '192.168.1.101' # what IP address(es) to
listen on;

The address here is mine, it is set to localhost or 127.0.0.1 by default
