    Connect errors

    + +

    +When connecting to a PostgreSQL server, you might get error messages that need +some more explanations. If you encounter them, please read the following information +carefully, we're sure they will help you. +
    +

    +
    +

    +

    could not connect to Server: Connection refused

    + +

    +If this message appears, there are two possible reasons for this: either the server isn't +running at all. Simply start it. +

    +

    +The other non-trivial cause for this message is that the server isn't configured +to accept TCP/IP requests on the address shown. +

    +

    +For security reasons, a PostgreSQL server "out of the box" doesn't listen on TCP/IP ports. +Instead, it has to be enabled to listen for TCP/IP requests. This can be done by +adding tcpip = true to the postgresql.conf file for Versions 7.3.x and 7.4.x, or +listen_addresses='*' for Version 8.0.x and above; this will make the server +accept connections on any IP interface. +

    +

    +For further information, please refer to the PostgreSQL documentation about +runtime configuration.
    +

    +
    +

    FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry

    + +

    +If this message appears, your server can be contacted correctly over the network, +but isn't configured to accept your connection. Your client isn't detected +as a legal user for the database. +

    +

    +You will have to add an entry in the form +
       host template1 postgres 192.168.0.0/24 md5 +
    for IPV4 or +
       host template1 postgres ::ffff:192.168.0.0/120 md5 +
    for IPV6 networks to the +pg_hba.conf file. +

    +

    +For further information, please refer to the PostgreSQL documentation about +client authentication.
