PostgreSQL is a Sophisticated open-source Object-Relational DBMS supporting almost all SQL constructs, including subselects, transactions, and user-defined types. PostgreSQL is a powerful, open source object-relational database system that available for many platforms including Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. In this post, i will show the quick steps on how to enable PostgreSQL to listen to all ip address on linux CentOS 6.2 server.
1. Open the PostgreSQL configuration file :
[root@centos62 ~]# vi /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf
2. Go to line 59 and uncomment the line. Enable listen from any ip address as below. “*” is for all ip addresses :
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# CONNECTIONS AND AUTHENTICATION

# - Connection Settings -
listen_addresses = '*' # what IP address(es) to listen on;
# comma-separated list of addresses;
# defaults to 'localhost', '*' = all

[root@centos62 ~]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql restart Stopping postgresql service: [ OK ] Starting postgresql service: [ OK ]
