Are you using -i option when you start Postgres?  If not, it will not allow remote requests even if you have the ACL set correctly.

Hello All
Thanks for your reply.
i want to use the port 6432 because some other instance of Postgresql is running on default port 5432,. And the psql command in this port works fine.
 
/scratch/huda/bin/psql -p 6432 test
 
If i want to allow any ip to get access to database what should i do.
is the following this legal
 
host template1 all 192.*.*.*  255.255.255.0 ident sameuser
 
Because when i hooked my PC to network it is assigned a dynamic IP .
 
thirdly, as mentioned in previous email where can i find the psql client tool.
 
Regards

A few things I would do;
 
1.  As other replies have mentioned check the port.  If you want to use 6432 I believe you have to put that in your conf file
2.  You need another line in your pg_hba.conf that provides access to the network or specific IP and netmask of the computer you are connecting from.  Lots of examples are found in the manual but I've put one below

# Allow any user from any host with IP address 192.168.93.x to connect

# to database "template1" as the same user name that ident reports for

# the connection (typically the Unix user name).

# TYPE DATABASE USER IP-ADDRESS IP-MASK METHOD

host template1 all 192.168.93.0 255.255.255.0 ident sameuser

3.  Verify you can connect locally with the settings (especially if you changed the port).
4.  If local connection works but your code still doesn't work, then verify you can connect from the client if possible using something other than jdbc (psql client tool or odbc).
5.  Check the log on the server.
 
Hope this helps some.

Hello Everyone
 
I have installed Postgres server in a network and  i am trying to use the database using
Java code from other network.
 
I have set the tcp_ip=true in postgresql.conf file.
I have also add the follwing line in the pg_hba.conf

host    all         all        127.0.0.0          255.255.255.255   trust
 
Then i start the server in port 6432.
 
After that i want to access the application using the following javacode.
 
import java.sql.*;   // All we need for JDBC
import java.text.*;
import java.io.*;
public class HelloPost
{
  Connection       db;        // A connection to the database
  Statement        sql;       // Our statement to run queries with
  DatabaseMetaData dbmd;      // This is basically info the driver delivers
                              // about the DB it just connected to. I use
                              // it to get the DB version to confirm the
                              // connection in this example.
  public HelloPost()
    throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException
  {
    String database = "test";
    String username = "abc";
    String password = "xyz";
    try{
     Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver"); file://load the driver
        db = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:postgresql://abc.csse.uts.edu:6432:test",
                                     username,
                                     password); file://connect to the db
     dbmd = db.getMetaData(); file://get MetaData to confirm connection
     System.out.println("Connection to "+dbmd.getDatabaseProductName()+" "+
                       dbmd.getDatabaseProductVersion()+" successful.\n");
     sql = db.createStatement(); file://create a statement that we can use later
    }catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
            System.err.println( "Driver not found: " + e + "\n" + e.getMessage() );
    }
    db.close();
  }
 public static void main (String args[])
   {
     try
     {
       HelloPost demo = new HelloPost();
     }
     catch (Exception ex)
     {
       System.out.println("***Exception:\n"+ex);
       ex.printStackTrace();
     }
   }
 }
But this give me the following error

Exception: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: Connection refused. Check that the hostname and port are correct and that the post
 accepting TCP/IP connections.
Connection refused. Check that the hostname and port are correct and that the postmaster is accepting TCP/IP connections
.
Can anyone please tell me where is the error. what should i doo ..
 
regards
