Hello!

On this page:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/server-start.html#CLIENT-CONNECTION-PROBLEMS

It notes: ".... A common mistake is to forget to configure the server to
allow TCP/IP connections."

I would expect a hyperlink to a section explaining exactly HOW to "configure
the server to allow TCP/IP connections" - from that note text.

I agree.

Perhaps it should say:

  A common mistake is to forget to configure "listen_addresses" so that the
  server accepts remote TCP connections.

Then "listen_addresses" could hyperlink to the parameter's documentation.
