What address are you connecting to on your desktop computer? You should be using localhost:5432 which putty will redirect to the server via the SSH tunnel and the server will connect to PostgreSQL on your behalf.
~p -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Moritz Bayer Sent: Tuesday, 6 March 2007 10:31 To: pgsql-admin@postgresql.org Subject: [ADMIN] pg_hba.conf & putty dear list, I know there are already hunderts of posts about pg_hba.conf, but still after reading a few of them I still got troubles with this topic. I've got a vpn server with a ststic ip address, java apps are supposed to run there receiving data from a postgresql database. The database is running, but for changes on it I want to open a putty connection while using pgAdmin. In putty, I define a tunnel to port 5432, its displayed like this: Lserver.ip.address:5432 Thought this entries in my pg_hba.conf would do it: # "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only local all all md5 # IPv4 local connections: host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5 # IPv6 local connections: host all all ::1/128 md5 well, it doesn't. When i run pgAdmin with an open putty connection, it still says: error connecting to server. Any hints how I can find out whats still wrong?
