And I am able conn

Answer 1

I Found the resolution to this problem. Two things are required.

1. Use a text editor to modify pg_hba.conf. Locate the line:

   host all all 127.0.0.1/0 md5.

   Immediately below it, add this new line:

   host all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5

2. Editing the PostgreSQL postgresql.conf file:

   Use a text editor to modify postgresql.conf.

   Locate the line that starts with #listen_addresses = 'localhost'.

   Uncomment the line by deleting the #, and change 'localhost' to '*'.

   The line should now look like this:

   listen_addresses = '*' # what IP address(es) to listen on;.

Now Just restart your postgres service and it will be able to connect
