Usually if you want to allow remote connections, you should just set it to '*' and let the postmaster figure out what the machine's IP address(es) are. > And I changed the pg_hba.conf file (also on data dir) so now it has a line like this > host all all 10.61.90.0/24 md5 This part's OK. You might also have a third problem: if the machine has any sort of firewall software, the firewall might need to be adjusted to let in remote connections to port 5432. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
