Hello,
 
I installed EMS postgres Admin (win) and I'm trying to connnect directly to the database (linux). I have specfied the host ip, default port 5432, and username(postgres), no password.  The server refused connection...I suspect it is because I have not set the configuration parameters for tcpip_socket = true in postgresql.conf.  The problem is...I can't locate this file anywhere on the server. 
This is the file/directory listing from the server.

What do I need to do to connect the windows client to the database?
 
Thanks!!
