[web2py] Re: strange problem connecting to the database - help!

You should also make sure your pg_hba.conf is set up to accept remote 
connections and that your user account can log in from remote connections. I 
once had a development PostgreSQL server that had its config reverted to 
factory settings one day for no apparent reason. I banged my head against 
the wall trying to figure out why it wasn't taking remote connections until 
I looked at the config files of the server.
