Thread: Problem connecting NT-psqlODBC to Linux-PostgreSQL

Problem connecting NT-psqlODBC to Linux-PostgreSQL

From

Hello all,

I'm trying to connect from a NT via psqlODBC (6.40.0005) to a 
Linux-machine with PostgreSQL 6.5.1 up and running. The connection is 
refused and in the logfile on the Linux-machine is the following message:

Unable to connect to Ident server on the host which is trying to connect 
to Postgres (IP address 212.52.7.241, Port 113). errno = Connection 
refused (111)

In the PostgreSQL-homedir there is also a file odbcinst.ini. Because I 
didn't install PostgreSQL myself, I don't know why it's there and if this 
can cause the trouble.

Thanks,
Jelle.

Howdy,

Two things:

1> You might want to upgrade your post odbc driver.

2> Check your pg_hba.conf file, usually found in /usr/local/pgsql/data.
Make sure you have an entry for your NT machine. It sounds like an entry is
there but that its set to ident instewad of password. Use pg_passwd to make
a password entry for the user you are coming in as.

Hope this helps,

-Rob
