Thread: Remote PSQL...
Hi, I'm trying to use psql on a remote machine and every time I connect I get a response "Unsupported front-end protocol." I did a packet sniff and saw that it was trying to connect to the correct remote host and port number but then the server would return the error response. I've looked through all the documentation I could find and I'm at my wits end so if anyone could point me in the right direction I would be grateful. TIA Remote Host: OpenBSD 2.5 Client: RedHat 6.0
The version of psql you are trying to connect with is not compatible with the version of postgresql you are trying to connect to...

(btw - I noticed that when trying to connect a 6.4.2 client to 6.3.1 or something). -- CIMPOESU Teodor, Web Programmer (h) @ DIGICOM S.A.
