Connect to Postgres 7.4 via ODBC

Add :
host all all 10.1.9.15 [your subnet mask number] trust
in pg_hba.conf file.

have you set the ODBC parameter correctly?
database name, etc..?

Hi all,

After wasting about half a day I thought I'd ask you for help.
I have Fedora Core 3 box that came with postgresql 7.4.6 installed.
Locally I have no problems connecting to the database and running psql.
I need to set up an ODBC connection from my Windows box.
Here is what I've done:

1. In postgresql.conf
tcpip_socket = true
(By the way does this eliminate the need to start postgres with -i option, see item 3 below ?)

2. in pg_hba.conf

local all all trust
host all all 10.1.9.0 255.255.255.0 trust
host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trust

The ip address of the windows box is 10.1.9.15 and ip address of the server is 10.1.9.27

3. in /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql

su -l postgres -s /bin/sh -c"/usr/bin/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA -o '-i' -p /usr/bin/postmaster start > /dev/null 2>&1 "</dev/null
Note, I do have -i option.

4. I ran netstat -na | grep 5432 and it tells me that postgres is listening on that port.

Every time I try to connect via ODBC from windows I get an error:
Could not connect to the server
Could not connect to remote socket

I'd appreciate any help.
Thank you
NK

Hi,

yes

2. in pg_hba.conf

local all all trust
host all all 10.1.9.0 255.255.255.0 trust
host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trust

looks good to me, mine looks like this, and it works:
local all all trust
host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trust
host all all 10.195.0.0 255.255.0.0 md5

3. in /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql

su -l postgres -s /bin/sh -c"/usr/bin/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA -o '-i' -p
/usr/bin/postmaster start > /dev/null 2>&1 "</dev/null
Note, I do have -i option.

Turn on logging (e.g. by using the -l option to pg_ctl)
and turn the line in postgresql.conf, which says
#log_connections = false
into
log_connections=true
Try to connect and look, if something shows up in your logfiles.

4. I ran netstat -na | grep 5432 and it tells me that postgres is listening
on that port.

Something filtering inbetween? Logging connections as described
above might give you a clue what's happening.
