Hey guys, I'm trying to get a VB program to make a client connection to my PostgreSQL server running on an
Ubuntu 10.10 server.
Here's what I've done:
Client side - installed and registered the OLE DB .dll's from the PostgreSQL OLE DB Provider project.
server side -
the configuration described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/serverguide/C/postgresql.html
---------------
Have added this line to postgresql.conf:
listen_addresses = '*, 144.96.80.35, localhost'
I've also tried this as simply:
listen_addresses = '144.96.80.35, localhost'
also, port = 5432
--------------
I have added the following to pg_hba.conf:
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 144.96.80.35 255.255.255.0 md5
local all postgres md5
--------------
I've got the following code going in VB:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Const connString As String = "Provider=PostgreSQL; Server=144.96.80.35; User Id=postgres;Password=postgres;"
Dim theOleDBconnection As New OleDb.OleDbConnection
theOleDBconnection.ConnectionString = connString
theOleDBconnection.Open()
End Sub
End Class
So when the project opens up, it should make the connection and display the form.
What happens is that I get an error...
OleDbException was unhandled
could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061)
Is the server running on host "" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
---------------------------
So, obviously I've got something configured incorrectly.
I'm troubled that the VB error seems to show a null value for the host. Shouldn't that be the Server value in
the connection string?
Thanks to all for any help…
