Thread: Bind PostgreSQL to a specific IP

Bind PostgreSQL to a specific IP

From
Mário Gamito
Date:
Hi,

I've compiled PostgreSQL.
Whenever i start it, it is binded to localhost (netstat -an shows port
5342 binded to 127.0.0.1), but i need it to allow incoming connections
from netowrk 10.10.2.0

How can i do it ?

Any help would be apreciated.

Warm Regards.

Configuring pg_hba.conf won't help if the server isn't accepting
connections on the desired interface.  You probably need to make
some changes to postgresql.conf; see the "Connections and Authentication"
section in the "Server Run-time Environment" chapter of the
documentation.  Some of the connection settings have changed names
in 8.0, so make sure you're reading the right version of the doc.

Perhaps you forgot the -i switch?

The literal answer to your Subject: question is to use the virtual_host
parameter (or listen_addresses, if you're testing 8.0), but I suspect
that's not actually what you need to do.
