Re: Cannot connect to 2nd cluster database remotely

I don’t believe I do. I can connect remotely with my first database that uses the default port 5432 and not with the second one using port 5436. However, I can connect locally to the database and perform any task.

[root(at)vpdb1 ~]# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
[root(at)vpdb1 ~]#

Is there a firewall on Linux box? You can check it with

iptables -L

if so, you can stop it with

service iptables stop

and then check again whether the db is accessible remotely or not.
