Thread: editing postgresql.conf for network access

editing postgresql.conf for network access

From

I have PostgreSQL 7.1.1 running on FreeBSD 4.3.  The
startup script uses pg_ctl; and instructs users to
edit /usr/local/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf to change
startup options.  I've looked at the file; and am not
sure how to change the connection parameters.  (I'm
assuming that I can't just type '-i' and expect it to
work.) I've already edited the host access
configuration file.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Andrew

in postgresql.conf, find the entry:

#tcpip_socket = false

and modify it to

    tcpip_socket = true

(i.e., comment and change to true to enable distributed postgres
capabilities)

this is the equivalent of the cmdline "-i" option

good luck!

Thanks!  That did the network trick.

For anyone who uses ODBC to access PostgreSQL and is
upgrading to PostgreSQL 7.1.*:  you may have to
upgrade your ODBC driver.  The driver that comes in
the old postdrv.exe file can connect to the database;
but displays an empty list of tables.  The newer
version, psqlodbc-07_01_0005.zip, seems to work.

Have a great day!
