FME basic training, PostGIS database connection ,

Hi,

In the FME basic training I am trying to create a PostGIS connection for Exercise 4 'FME Hackathon' (page 430).

The Hackathon PostGIS Database should be located at postgis.train.safe.com, but I cannot get a connect with it using the given parameters (below). I followed the steps Tools -> Database Connections -> Add Database Connection.

Host: postgis.train.safe.com

In the log window the following error appears:

Error connecting to PostgreSQL database(host='postgis.train.safe.com', port='5432', dbname='fmedata', user='fmedata', password='***'): 'server closed the connection unexpectedly

This probably means the server terminated abnormally

before or while processing the request.

'

Isn't the server online or am I doing something wrong?

My version is: FME Workbench 2017.1

Thanks,

Koen
