Thread: connect local pgAdmin III to remote postgres server

Hi all,

I have a Debian server on which is installed Postgresql, with a database.

I have installed pgAdmin III on my computer (Win 7) and I try to communicate
with postgres on my server to display it.

on my server, using this code tells me the DB installed:

postgres=# select datname from pg_database;
  datname
-----------
 template1
 template0
 postgres
(3 rows)

I checked on my server that posgres is listening on port 5432:
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:5432          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
4998/postgres

the firewall do not block his incoming connections:
ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere            tcp
dpt:postgresql

the service is running:
8.3     main      5432 online postgres /var/lib/postgresql/8.3/main
/var/log/postgresql/postgresql-8.3-main.log

postgresql.conf has the changed value:
#listen_addresses = '*'

and despite all this, pgAdmin III gives me:
could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the
server running on host "xx.xx.xx.xx" and accepting TCP/IP connections on
port 5432?

Could anyone help me connect the postgresql server installed on my Debian
server via pgAdmin III installed on my pc?

Thanks in advance

You need to uncomment this line for it to take effect. Remove the '#'
from the start of the line, and then restart (or maybe just reload? -
not sure) the server.
