Walid,
Are you using ECPG?
What does your connection string look like?
I''m also banging my head on the same problem for the past one day.

Hi All,

 

I have been trying to connect to PostgreSQL 8 (which is installed on an FC4 server with a public IP address) from PGAdmin III, and I am getting the following error:

 

Error connecting to the server: could not connect to server: Connection timed out (0x0000274C/10060)

            Is the server running on host "XX.XXX.XXX.XXX" and accepting

            TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

 

From a terminal on the server, on the server I can connect to the 'test' database that I created after installation of PostgreSQL.

 

I have read on various sites on the internet that this issue could be associated with the "tcpip_socket" flag being set to FALSE, this flag is not available in the postgresql.conf file?

 

On the postgresql.conf file, I have done the following:

 

listen_addresses = '*'

port = 5432      

 

On the pg_hba.conf file, I have done the following:

 

            Located the line beginning with "TYPE" and added entries as applicable

TYPE     DB        USER    CIDR-ADDRESS             METHOD

host      all         all         XX.XX.XXX.XXX/24        trust # remote access

host      all         all         XX.XX.XX.XX/24            trust # remote access

 

 

Any ideas where I am going wrong?

 

Thanks

Walid
