A software package i want to use requires postgresql version 6.2.1 Therefor i compiled and installed it, everything works fine. I can connect to the server via psql in xterm. But the software claims, that there is no postgre server running. My hd_dba.conf has the correct settings: host all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 The man pages say, that there is the -i option to allow access via tcp/ip, but if i'm trying to start postmaster -i it prompts me the help message with the different options. And there no -i option is mentioned. Did i forget to set an option while configuring or compiling? ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://www.postgresql.org/search.mpl
