Thread: Trying to install ODBC driver on Windows XP notebook

Trying to install ODBC driver on Windows XP notebook

From
Phil Jackson
Date:
I have latest Postgresql installed on a notebook and now trying to
install the driver which I have downloaded and run so that it is now
available in the ODBC Data Source Administrator

This machine has CA security suite, latest version installed and I have
added a network rule that allows all applications using TCP and UDP on
Port 4532 to gain access In and Out

I have the correct database name and get the following message when I
try to Test the connection.

Could not connect to the server
No Connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
(192.168.1.7:5432)

I don't know what else I can now do to get the connection.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers

Phil Jackson

Assuming a TCP/IP connection, does the server machine know about your tcp/ip address in pg_hba.conf?
Otherwise, what kind of connection protocol are you using?

I promise, no Lakers jokes.

Do you really have opened port 4532, or is it a typo ? (should be 5432, of
course ;-) ).

Does your postmaster listen on this address ?
Check your postgresql.conf for parameter "listen_addresses"
What's the error message in detail ?

regarads....GERD.....

Is port *4532* above a typo?
