Thread: silently fails to connect to remote server

silently fails to connect to remote server

From
"Chris Velevitch"
Date:
I'm using the Windows version 1.4.2 on Win XP Sp1.

When I try to connect to a remote server, the connection silently
fails. According to the manual, I should be getting a pop-up dialog
detailing the connection failure. Instead, the status bar at the
bottom of the window shows:-
     Connecting to database... Failed

Also the log shows nothing.

My connection is failing because port 5432 on our firewall was not
open to outgoing connections. This situation should be detectable and
as such should be logged and reported to the user.

Please turn logging to debug level under File->Options, retry the
connection and then check/send the logfile over.
