I’ve postgre db on redhat linux. It’s been configured to a single network earlier viz., 192.168.0.1 but now I want to access the same db from different vlans(192.168.0.1 , 192.168.1.1……to 192.168.20.1). there are about 20 machines on each network. I’m able to access from the client machines which are on 192.168.0.1… network but where as when I try to access from others it says “I don’t permissions to access the db”. Pls can anybody help in this regard…

Hi,
this guide was a good help for me.
only thing as rajeev said their is no parameter with the name tcpip_socket in Ubuntu also.

so used following things in the postgresql.conf config file

listen_addresses = ‘*’
port = 5432

Forgot to mention the version of my postgresql db. It’s 8.1.4

Thanks for the fantastic FAQ. Just what I needed as a newbie with pgsql.

Just wanted to mention here that was trying to connect a remote pgsql db on a Suse Linux 9. It did not have the tcpip_socket parameter in postgresql.conf

To overcome this, I had to uncomment the following settings:

#—————————————————————————
# CONNECTIONS AND AUTHENTICATION
#—————————————————————————

# – Connection Settings -

listen_addresses = ‘*’
port = 5432

Bounced the db and voila, I was able to connect and to run queries.

Hope this helps.

Thanks
Rajeev

$ su – postgres
$ vi /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf

You can also use 192.168.1.31/24 instead of 192.168.1.31 255.255.255.0 (CIDR-address), kinda config file will look “cleaner”, and I would use “md5″ instead of “trust” for further peace-of-mind :)
