Thread: Connect to Postgres 7.4 via ODBC
Hi all,
After wasting about half a day I thought I'd ask you for help.
I have Fedora Core 3 box that came with postgresql 7.4.6 installed.
Locally I have no problems connecting to the database and running psql.
I need to set up an ODBC connection from my Windows box.
Here is what I've done:
1. In postgresql.conf
tcpip_socket = true
(By the way does this eliminate the need to start postgres with -i option, see item 3 below ?)
2. in pg_hba.conf
local all all trust
host all all 10.1.9.0 255.255.255.0 trust
host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trust
The ip address of the windows box is 10.1.9.15 and ip address of the server is 10.1.9.27
3. in /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql
su -l postgres -s /bin/sh -c"/usr/bin/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA -o '-i' -p /usr/bin/postmaster start > /dev/null 2>&1
"</dev/null
Note, I do have -i option.
4. I ran netstat -na | grep 5432 and it tells me that postgres is listening on that port.
Every time I try to connect via ODBC from windows I get an error:
Could not connect to the server
Could not connect to remote socket
I'd appreciate any help.
Thank you
NK
Add : host all all 10.1.9.15 [your subnet mask number] trust in pg_hba.conf file. have you set the ODBC parameter correctly? database name, etc..?

Turn on logging (e.g. by using the -l option to pg_ctl) and turn the line in postgresql.conf, which says #log_connections = false into log_connections=true Try to connect and look, if something shows up in your logfiles. > 4.
