[postgis-users] connecting to postgis from remote machines

[Christian Mikovits]

Can you check if you have maybe a firewall up on the host machine?

on the host:
> netstat -tulp

on the client/remote:
> nmap -P 5432 $hostip

The specific error I get is "FATAL: no_pg.conf entry for host "10.0.xxx.xxx", user "Editor", database "postgis20", SSL off."  I modified postgresql.conf so that the listen_addresses  is set to *, and made sure that ssl is set to off.  In addition I added a line in pg_hba.conf  for type host, database all, user all, IP-address *.
