Thread: remote connection problem
I can not access to postgresql server 9.1.3 form client computer with front-end application written in MS Visual Foxpro 9 SP2.
Application made connection when work on PC where is postgresql server installed.
Connstr="DRIVER={PostgreSQL odbc driver(unicode)};server=localhost;Port=5432;Database=mydatabase; Uid=postgres;Pwd=mypwd;UseServerSidePrepare=1;MaxVarcharSize=254;UnknownsAsLongVarchar=0;TextAsLongVarchar=0;"
I installed ODBC driver v 09.00.0310-1 on client PC. Also firewall is disabled on server side.
This a settings in postgresql.conf file:
listen_addresses = '*'
This a settings in pg_hba.conf file:
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::0/0 md5
I got this message:
Connectivity error: Could not connect to server;
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it (127.0.0.1:5432)
Any ideas what is wrong ?.
Thank’s
Ilija
Ilija,
Make a test change md5 to trust and see if you can connect.
Do not forget to restart the service

I think you have to check the 32 / 64 bits system of the client and the server. There is a problem with the 64bits ODBC but I can't remember what at this time ... but I can look for it. I am an old VFP developper (beginning with FoxPro Dos in 1992). I am using PostgreSql for less than one year. Beginning was difficult but now it works like a charm.

Sorry for top posting. Replying from my phone and it does not allow
any other option. If I understand you correctly it works when you run
it on the same machine as the database server, but not when the client
is a different machine from the server? If that is the case then you
have specified the wrong host name in your connection string.
Localhost means "this machine". i.e. the machine that the client is
running on. So if you want to connect to another machine you must
specify that machine's name or address instead of localhost.

Perhaps someone on the list will have an idea of why this might be.
I've copied the list in my reply.

Thank's Michael.
How can I be so blind. Connection is made.
But speed through LAN is disaster.
On the PC where postgresql server is installed, postgre is little slower then MS SqlSerever 2008 r2 express (same tables, same indexeses, same query).
But when I run app on client PC retrieving data from server is very, very slow. On server PC report finish for 2-3 sec, but on client PC about 1 min.
On the server is also installed MS SqlSerever 2008 r2 express, and there is not great differences in speed to get data (from server or client PC). From server PC 1-2 sec and from client PC 2-4 sec.

Probably has something with dns resolution of host name. Try to disable that in postgres, or fix the dns on the server that resolves the client name/ip.
