lca143 Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 summary: is there a blocked port that would deny outgoing pg_connect from heliohost to remote postgres? I am trying to use php to connect to a postgres database on a different site - the syntax is correct because I can connect to a postgres database on my same heliohost site. i am getting a timeout error when i run the php to connect to the remote host - it asks if my remote site is open and accepting tcp/ip on port 5432....telnet says it is. in my efforts to trace the problem - is that potentially blocked as an outgoing port on heliohost? i've seen other posts about random applications and seen that most ports are blocked (understandable) so i thought i would verify. (in case you were wondering why i would go through extra hoop of posting off domain - the remote postgres also has postgis and i am linking it to a different spatially enabled server behind same firewall...i digress)
Krydos Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I'm a little surprised that 5432, the postgresql port, wasn't open by default. I opened it up for everyone. Let us know if you're still having trouble connecting to an external postgresql database.
