Hi Jas,

 

What is ECPG?

Which connection string?

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
