Thread: Postgres v8 jdbc connect fails while v7.4 connection works

Postgres v8 jdbc connect fails while v7.4 connection works

Folks,
I point my app on my local PC at a v8 database on server A and it
fails. If I point it at v7.4 db on server B it works. All are Red Hat
ES3.

I've upgraded to latest drivers.
I've checked _hba and confirmed my IP address is there.
In fact they are there in the new format x.x.x.0/255

I can connect locally on the box so I know postmaster is running.

Any thoughts?

TIA...

Make sure you can telnet to port 5432 on the box in question
connecting locally doesn't say much

look in postgresql.conf and change listen_address to '*'

Did you check if tcp/ip is set to true in your config file?

OK...got it. First I had changed listen_address to '*' but had left it
commented out<duh!>
When I fixed that I tried restarting and hit problem #2...

I had hba_conf settings like:
host    all         all         111.123.21.1/32          trust

didn't work but going back to old v7 format of
host    all         all         111.123.21.1     255.255.255.0  trust

did work.
Problem in my definition?

/32 means 255.255.255.255
/24 means 255.255.255.0

so the above two lines have different meanings.
