Hi Folks,
I'm having trouble with connection / remote connection.  I'm running Postgres on Solaris 10.

$ netstat -a |grep 5432

Works fine
$ psql -d director
Welcome to psql 8.1.19 (server 8.2.17), the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

Does not work
$ psql -h phys-brmtso-2 -d director
psql: could not connect to server: Connection refused
        Is the server running on host "phys-brmtso-2" and accepting
        TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

I tried both md5 & trust.
phys-brmtso-2# tail -15 pg_hba.conf
# superuser. If you do not trust all your local users, use another
# authentication method.

Hi,

Check this line in your postgresql.conf maybe?

#listen_addresses = 'localhost'        # what IP address(es) to listen on;

You should have it set to localhost *and* the hostname you want to use (i.e. the phys-brmtso-2), that might be the problem I think.
