Re: Bug #537: In Red Hat don't open port 5432 and PostgreSql don't work.

You probably need to configure your firewall. RedHat 7.2 installs, by
default, with firewall settings that do not allow access to most ports.

root(at)localhost> /usr/sbin/setup

Then select firewall setup and add ports 5432:tcp and (possibly) 5432:udp
manually.

--rob

P.S. I admire your English. At least you can speak another language.

> I recently installing Red Hat 7.2. One of RPM were your PostgreSql. I
thing that there is a bug in the instalallation. Packet is installed
correctly with no error messages. When I try to init server by
(etc/init.d/postgresql start) the Linux says all is OK. But when I make a
port Scan the PostfreSql Port (5432) is not openened and PostMaster process
is running. So PostgreSql don't work because I can not connect to
databases... In redHat 7.1 all was ok.... But 7.2....
