Re: How to connect to a remote database

Hi,

this is probably not a bug.

with psql you have to use the -h option

e.g.: psql -h mypgserver.mydomain [mydatabase]

and on mypgserver.mydomain computer you have to launch postgresql with 
the -i option, telling it to listen for TCP/IP connections, and check
pg_hba.conf for possible restricitions.
