I am trying to open port 5432 on ubuntu using ufw using sudo ufw allow 5432/tcp
I then use nmap to see if port 5432 was opened and i get this:
root@domain:~# sudo nmap -sS -O 127.0.0.1
Starting Nmap 5.21 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2011-12-01 14:28 MSK

I have edited pg_hba.conf:
# DO NOT DISABLE!
# If you change this first entry you will need to make sure that the
# database
# super user can access the database using some other method.
# Noninteractive
# access to all databases is required during automatic maintenance
# (custom daily cronjobs, replication, and similar tasks).
#
# Database administrative login by UNIX sockets
local all postgres ident
# TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local all all ident
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::1/128 md5
but port 5432 has not been opened.
You need to edit your
pg_hba.conf
:This allows every from the
192.168.0.0/24
network to connect. A wild-card for all would be0.0.0.0/0
. More information here.Then edit
postgresql.conf
and changelisten_address
