Hello
I installed PostgreSQL 8.0 on Windows and I can connect from localhost only.
How can I configure the server to allow connection from other machines?
Thank you
Catalin

Under
Start-> Programs->PostgreSQLXX->Configuration files
postgresql.conf
pg_hba.conf
Are the 2 files I modified. Please be aware my settings are for a dev
box and are WIDE OPEN AS SHOWN HERE this might allow alot more people
connect than you want.
postgresql.conf
# - Connection Settings -
listen_addresses = '*' # what IP address(es) to listen on;
# comma-separated list of addresses;
# defaults to 'localhost', '*' = all
port = 5432
max_connections = 100
pg_hba.conf
# TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
host all all 192.168.10.1/24 md5
# IPv6 local connections:
#host all all ::1/128 md5

After I've changed the pg_hba.conf, I got the following error when
connecting (from log file)
2006-05-04 21:57:26 LOG: invalid entry in file "C:/Program
Files/PostgreSQL/8.0/data/pg_hba.conf" at line 68, token "192.168.0.1/192"

The pg_hba.conf file is attached...

Ok, I found it, it was my mistake.
An IP entry should be have /32 or /128. I used different values. Now I got
it (RTFM).
