Re: How to add hosts to pg_hba.conf and postgresql.conf? - Mailing list pgsql-general

Well, you believe you already have, by telling PostgreSQL to
listen on '*'.  There might be a few different reason why it's
not:

1) Are you editing the correct postgresql.conf file?  Do you have
   multiple ones on the filesystem somewhere?

2) Are you editing the correct directive?  It's 'listen_addresses'
   on both my 8.x and 9.x servers.  It looks like the right option
   in your original posting, have you re-typed the option name just
   to be sure a control or unprintable character wasn't accidentally
   inserted?

Does PostgreSQL log anything when you restart it that would suggest
which file it's looking at, or if it's complaining about the
configuration it's reading?
