I noticed that my postgresql is accessible only in my localhost after I issued the following command in linux terminal (Suse Linux – SLES 11 SP2 64bit):

# netstat -an 10.64.72.202 | grep 5432
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:5432          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:5432          127.0.0.1:33304         ESTABLISHED

unix  3      [ ]         STREAM     CONNECTED     2816569 /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432

My question is how I can make the postgresql server accessible from out world. I can ping to the machine where postgressql is installed but I cannot connect to the database itself. Thanks in advance.

    You’ll need to enable remote access for postgres on your machine.

    Here is an tutorial which helped me to accomplish this for my setup.

    Its an quite easy step-by-step guide for postgres versions < 7.x AND 8.x and newer.

    Hope this helped, have Fun!
