Re: Where is the msi-setup described ?

Hi.
To access postgres set pg_hba.conf like this:

host all all 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 md5

This will allow any user from any IP to connect.
nd: «md5» sets the authentication mode, check the PG documentation for
alternative methods (if you need them).

Cheers,

Andrea
