Connecting to postgres using libpq

alcraigon · Jan 9, 2003

I am having trouble getting a simple C program to connect to a postgres database! I start the server using
postmaster -iD ****. (I understand the "i" option allows TCP/IP socket connections). Can anyone tell me the correct way to start the posgres server to allow TCP/IP connections? Using postmaster -iD **** allows me to use psql.

That is correct, but you must also modify the pg_hba.conf file to specifically allow the IP addresses or hostnames that will be connecting to PostgreSQL. -------------------------------------------
