Re: V8.3 fails to start after unremming hba_file = 'ConfigDir/pg_hba.conf'

I have now isolated the problem to the firewall as suspected.

I found that when I disabled Kaspersky firewall the bloody Windows firewall
would kick in unbeknown to me.

Once that was disabled as well then I could connect from another machine on
the LAN.

So the next step is easy, configure Kaspersky to let it through.

Chris,
Thank you very much for your help it is really appreciated. I guess I would
have got there in the end but it always helps when someone else throws ideas
at you.

Thanks again,
Alan.

Ok,
I have just had a look at the firewall network monitor (Open Ports) and the
following is showing.

5432 TCP POSTGRES.EXE -D "G:/PROGRAM FILES/POSTGRESQL/8.3/DATA"
127.0.0.1 02:11:46
4141 UDP POSTGRES.EXE -D "G:/PROGRAM FILES/POSTGRESQL/8.3/DATA"
127.0.0.1 02:12:56

Which looks OK to me.

I uses more investigation is required

Alan

Hi Chris,

I can connect to the server locally with PgAdmin using

localhost: 5432
192.168.2.99: 5432
127.0.0.1 : 5432

As for the Windows event logs they are all fine.

The server logs. Look OK except for
%LOG: invalid length of startup packet which could have been when I was
trying to telnet in.

What is very interesting is the following from the Status log
I have three connections now, all from my local machine, local host,
127.0.0.1 and 192.168.2.99 and what is very interesting is the following
from the Status log is the client column.

192.168.2.99:3321
127.0.0.1:3237
127.0.0.1:3223

Which is telling me that it is using different outgoing ports. Which means
it will probably be a problem with the firewall as I think I set both
incoming and outgoing to 5432.

Will have to go and see if changing the outgoing to any makes a difference.

Will reports back soon.

Thanks,
Alan.

Anything in the postgres logs or windows event logger?

Can you manually telnet to that?

Try
- from the postgres server back to itself (127.0.0.1 5432)
- from the postgres server to it's ip (2.99)
- from another machine

It still sounds like it's firewall related.
