Did you know you can use phppgadmin https://tommy.heliohost.org:2083/3rdparty/phpPgAdmin/index.php to import your database dump? You don't need remote access to do that, but I'd be happy to grant it if you postdatabase usernamedatabaseremote ip Well, the dump I was trying to import had COPY commands (instead of INSERT), which made it impossible to import using phpPdAdmin, but I managed to get around that by installing Postgresql locally, importing the data there, and then doing a plain sql export. So I managed to recreate my database on Tommy. However, there is a similar problem now when trying to connect to the database from a php script: pg_connect(): Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "::1", user "lazarus", database "lazarus_portfolio", SSL off It appears that PostgreSQL on Tommy is configured not to even accept local connections. I'm connecting to localhost. This script worked on Stevie.
