Thanks, Matthew! I did notice that "-i" flag was used to enable the
postgresql server to listen over TCP/IP. However, it seemed to me this
option had become obsolete in postgresal 8.0. I did not find "-i"
option from man page. Plus, the document here
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/runtime-config.html
states that I only need to insert "listen_addresses" option in the
postgresql.conf file. Did I misunderstand anything? What do you think?
thanks again!
