Thread: Connection Info
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/server-start.html Description: 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. Yours, Laurenz Albe
