Thread: ports in use question
I have started my pg installation using port 5444 (with the -p 5444 switch). Everything is working fine inside my installation with the internal ip number (a 192.168 number). I created a tunnel in my firewall to point to the linux box running pg with the port 5444 open. I can not seem to get to the server from outside. does anything else need to be opened to talk to the pg machine? is pg talking on some other port? thanks a million, Ted
Two thoughts: 1. Did you start the postmaster with "-i" to allow non-local connections? 2. Did you add the remote host to the "pg_hba.conf" file?
