Re: Need Help Enabling Remote Connections

It's a passthrough to the postgres command itself.

From the doc:

-i

Allows remote clients to connect via TCP/IP (Internet domain)
connections. Without this option, only local connections are accepted.
This option is equivalent to setting listen_addresses to * in
postgresql.conf or via -h.

This option is deprecated since it does not allow access to the full
functionality of listen_addresses
<http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/runtime-config-connection.htm
l#GUC-LISTEN-ADDRESSES> . It's usually better to set listen_addresses
directly.

The equivalent file on CentOS uses this:

$SU -l postgres -c "$PGENGINE/initdb --pgdata='$PGDATA' --auth='ident
sameuser'" >> "$PGLOG" 2>&1 < /dev/null

I placed the -i option right before the -c option and it wouldn't start
at all.

What is the -i option supposed to be doing?

I was getting the same error on 8.3.5 on Suse - not sure if it applies.

I had to change a line in /etc/rc.d/postgresql (Note the -i before
$OPTIONS)

pg_ctl start -s -w -p $H -D $DATADIR -o "\" $OPTIONS\""

to

pg_ctl start -s -w -p $H -D $DATADIR -o "\" -i $OPTIONS\""

Thanks, but I'm not seeing anything new on the link.

here is my pg_hba.conf file:
host all all 192.168.1.0/24 trust
host all all 192.168.15.0/24 trust

I don't understand why this isn't working.

I've just installed Postgresql Server 8.1.xx on Cent OS 5.4, the
server's IP is 192.168.15.113

I added a db user (with super-user privileges) and edited pg_hba.conf to
allow 192.168.15.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 (the remote subnet, where I'm
trying to connect from).

I edited postgresql.conf to:
listen_addresses = '*'
port = 5432
max_connections = 100

But I cannot connect remotely, I get "Server doesn't Listen" from
pgAdmin.

Any ideas?
