Hi,
Having a time trying to connect to a PostGreSQL database on Ubuntu 18.04 server.
Here is my: postgresql.conf file :
port=5432
listen_addresses='*'
pg_hba.cong:
host all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5
firewall is currently disabled
here is the output when I did the command (saw in another thread to do this…):
sudo netstat -ltpnActive Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.53:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 608/systemd-resolve
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 842/sshd
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:5432 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2922/postgres
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1055/master
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 867/nginx: master p
tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 842/sshd
tcp6 0 0 :::25 :::* LISTEN 1055/master
tcp6 0 0 :::80 :::* LISTEN
I have restarted postgresql each time using the command ‘sudo service postgresql restart’.
I have tried to access the db using the python library psycopg2 on macOS and getting this error
could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "<ip_address>" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance!

Hello, @masonbaran
Can you see if you’re able to access the server on this port using telnet? The exact command on your MAC will be:
Let me know how it goes.
