remote IP changed, now PT2 can't connect to database

[msbuss]

I am running postgres natively on a mac, keeping the db on the mac while running PT2 in XP using Parallels. PT2 knows the db server is at 192.168.1.4, and all is well.

I just replaced my router, and the machine that was 192.168.1.4 on my network is now 192.168.1.2. Suddenly PT2 can't find the db, giving me the error: 101 - SQLSTATE = 08001, could not connect to server, is the server running on host "192.168.1.4" etc, etc.

No problem. I go to postgresql settings and change the server to 192.168.1.2.

BUT...every time I start up PT2, it STILL looks for the server at 192.168.1.4, giving me the aforementioned error. I open postgresql settings again, and it shows the server address has been changed to 192.168.1.2.

So why is PT2 looking in the wrong place, even though I told it the right place to look?

You need to go to the File > Maintain Database Names window, click the Add button and in the last field select "Select existing PostgreSQL database" from the list and re-add a new pointer to this database.

Should I remove the ones that are in the list already?

You don't have to but to avoid confusion it's probably a good idea.

Nailed it. Thanks.
