Wanting to use PT3 on two computers, having troubles.

[IWEARGOGGLES]

Hello,

I have 4 keys of this program which is ironic because I have no idea what to do with it.

So here is my setup:

Computer A- my new desktop.
Computer B- my old desktop with my huge PT3 database on it.
Computer C- my laptop with PT3 on it as well.

I guess what I want is for A to be able to use B's database while I'm playing a session so that I don't have to constantly move databases between computers. Could I also have B import from shared folders on A?

So basically A and B are on the same router (Netgear WPN824v2) and both hard connections.

I've tried editing configuration files and I constantly get the "are you sure it is connected to blah blah on port 5432?"

In the OP I'll post the IPconfig/all for A and I guess the config files for A (do these even need altered since it isn't the server?) and then I'll post ipconfig/all from B and the log files too.

# PostgreSQL Client Authentication Configuration File
# ===================================================
#
# Refer to the "Client Authentication" section in the
# PostgreSQL documentation for a complete description
# of this file. A short synopsis follows.
#
# This file controls: which hosts are allowed to connect, how clients
# are authenticated, which PostgreSQL user names they can use, which
# databases they can access. Records take one of these forms:
#
# local DATABASE USER METHOD [OPTION]
# host DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD [OPTION]
# hostssl DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD [OPTION]
# hostnossl DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD [OPTION]
#
# (The uppercase items must be replaced by actual values.)
#
# The first field is the connection type: "local" is a Unix-domain socket,
# "host" is either a plain or SSL-encrypted TCP/IP socket, "hostssl" is an
# SSL-encrypted TCP/IP socket, and "hostnossl" is a plain TCP/IP socket.
#
# DATABASE can be "all", "sameuser", "samerole", a database name, or
# a comma-separated list thereof.
#
# USER can be "all", a user name, a group name prefixed with "+", or
# a comma-separated list thereof. In both the DATABASE and USER fields
# you can also write a file name prefixed with "@" to include names from
# a separate file.
#
# CIDR-ADDRESS specifies the set of hosts the record matches.
# It is made up of an IP address and a CIDR mask that is an integer
# (between 0 and 32 (IPv4) or 128 (IPv6) inclusive) that specifies
# the number of significant bits in the mask. Alternatively, you can write
# an IP address and netmask in separate columns to specify the set of hosts.
#
# METHOD can be "trust", "reject", "md5", "crypt", "password", "gss", "sspi",
# "krb5", "ident", "pam" or "ldap". Note that "password" sends passwords
# in clear text; "md5" is preferred since it sends encrypted passwords.
#
# OPTION is the ident map or the name of the PAM service, depending on METHOD.
#
# Database and user names containing spaces, commas, quotes and other special
# characters must be quoted. Quoting one of the keywords "all", "sameuser" or
# "samerole" makes the name lose its special character, and just match a
# database or username with that name.
#
# This file is read on server startup and when the postmaster receives
# a SIGHUP signal. If you edit the file on a running system, you have
# to SIGHUP the postmaster for the changes to take effect. You can use
# "pg_ctl reload" to do that.

# Put your actual configuration here
# ----------------------------------
#
# If you want to allow non-local connections, you need to add more
# "host" records. In that case you will also need to make PostgreSQL listen
# on a non-local interface via the listen_addresses configuration parameter,
# or via the -i or -h command line switches.
#



# TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD

You should only need to change configuration on B (or 2 ) - the one with the databases.

Could I also have B import from shared folders on A?

Yes, but - You may only have ONE copy of PT3 importing to a single database at any time, or there will be database errors / corruption.

Since an import process is required for the HUD to function, you are gonna want it running on A while you play. At other times you could run import on B (datamining I suppose) - but you'd need to be careful not to have them running simultaneously. Alternatively, A could import to a small database while you play, and B can import to a DIFFERENT database from shared folders at the same time - this is not a problem.

I would only ever run one importing PT3 at a time for safety's sake - it is probably easy to get careless and trash databases running multiple import processes.

Right, on to the config.

This all applies to B

in pg_hba.conf, you need to add this line:

Code: Select all

host all all 192.168.1.0/24 trust

this allows trusted access (no password required) to any computer on your LAN, so including the laptop C

probably delete all these entries:

Code: Select all

host all all 192.168.1.6/32 md5
host all all 192.168.1.101 255.255.255 md5
host all all 192.168.1.102 255.255.255 md5
host all all 192.168.1.103 255.255.255 md5
host all all 192.168.0.0/32 md5

In postrgesql.conf, find this section near the top:

Code: Select all

# CONNECTIONS AND AUTHENTICATION
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# - Connection Settings -

#listen_addresses = 'localhost' # what IP address(es) to listen on;
# comma-separated list of addresses;
# defaults to 'localhost', '*' = all
# (change requires restart)
...


"#listen_addresses = 'localhost' # what IP address(es) to listen on;" <--- this line needs changing. remove the hash, change localhost to an asterisk.

It should read:

Code: Select all

listen_addresses = '*'

not the "change requires restart" - so save & restart.
...

That should do it... on A, in PT3 "configure database" enter Server: 192.168.1.2, port: 5432, user: postgres, password: whatever.

Hit browse databases, cross fingers

[IWEARGOGGLES]

So I did exactly what you wrote.

This time, instead of immediately giving me an error message, it said the connection timed out and again asked if it was configured correctly.

Any ideas what could be causing this? I'll use the search function for now and post if I figure it out :p

[IWEARGOGGLES]

Yeah I'm starting to think it has something to do with my router.

0% chance I'd be able to fix it myself because this router is insanely annoying and always giving me trouble.

Any other ideas?

Also, I've tried using like open port check tools and stuff and it says 5432 is closed.

[_dave_]

Also, I've tried using like open port check tools and stuff and it says 5432 is closed.

I'm guessing these tools test your router, not computer B's open ports - so this is fine, 5432 should be closed to the outside world.

Let me just see if I've missed anything...

quick check - database superuser is indeed "postgres", yes?

edit: did it seem to wait almost exactly one minute?

Code: Select all

#authentication_timeout = 1min # 1s-600s

[IWEARGOGGLES]

I didn't change any of the original settings when I downloaded PT3, so they should both still be Postgres.

And yeah I guess it was around a minute.

[_dave_]

And yeah I guess it was around a minute.

Good, hopefully that just narrows it to an authentication error now then.

Please post the edited pg_hba.conf from B

# PostgreSQL Client Authentication Configuration File
# ===================================================
#
# Refer to the "Client Authentication" section in the
# PostgreSQL documentation for a complete description
# of this file. A short synopsis follows.
#
# This file controls: which hosts are allowed to connect, how clients
# are authenticated, which PostgreSQL user names they can use, which
# databases they can access. Records take one of these forms:
#
# local DATABASE USER METHOD [OPTION]
# host DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD [OPTION]
# hostssl DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD [OPTION]
# hostnossl DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD [OPTION]
#
# (The uppercase items must be replaced by actual values.)
#
# The first field is the connection type: "local" is a Unix-domain socket,
# "host" is either a plain or SSL-encrypted TCP/IP socket, "hostssl" is an
# SSL-encrypted TCP/IP socket, and "hostnossl" is a plain TCP/IP socket.
#
# DATABASE can be "all", "sameuser", "samerole", a database name, or
# a comma-separated list thereof.
#
# USER can be "all", a user name, a group name prefixed with "+", or
# a comma-separated list thereof. In both the DATABASE and USER fields
# you can also write a file name prefixed with "@" to include names from
# a separate file.
#
# CIDR-ADDRESS specifies the set of hosts the record matches.
# It is made up of an IP address and a CIDR mask that is an integer
# (between 0 and 32 (IPv4) or 128 (IPv6) inclusive) that specifies
# the number of significant bits in the mask. Alternatively, you can write
# an IP address and netmask in separate columns to specify the set of hosts.
#
# METHOD can be "trust", "reject", "md5", "crypt", "password", "gss", "sspi",
# "krb5", "ident", "pam" or "ldap". Note that "password" sends passwords
# in clear text; "md5" is preferred since it sends encrypted passwords.
#
# OPTION is the ident map or the name of the PAM service, depending on METHOD.
#
# Database and user names containing spaces, commas, quotes and other special
# characters must be quoted. Quoting one of the keywords "all", "sameuser" or
# "samerole" makes the name lose its special character, and just match a
# database or username with that name.
#
# This file is read on server startup and when the postmaster receives
# a SIGHUP signal. If you edit the file on a running system, you have
# to SIGHUP the postmaster for the changes to take effect. You can use
# "pg_ctl reload" to do that.

# Put your actual configuration here
# ----------------------------------
#
# If you want to allow non-local connections, you need to add more
# "host" records. In that case you will also need to make PostgreSQL listen
# on a non-local interface via the listen_addresses configuration parameter,
# or via the -i or -h command line switches.
#



# TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD

# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
# IPv6 local connections:
#host all all ::1/128 md5
host all all 192.168.1.0/24 trust

[_dave_]

well that *should* be fine... can you connect via pgAdmin (or psql command prompt) from A to B?

edit: Are you *sure* there are no firewalls running on either of these machines?
