Tom, Thanks for replying. Here is the log: 2011-07-05 22:58:22 CDT LOG: database system is ready to accept connections 2011-07-05 22:58:22 CDT LOG: autovacuum launcher started 2011-07-05 22:59:33 CDT LOG: could not receive data from client: Connection reset by peer 2011-07-05 22:59:41 CDT FATAL: password authentication failed for user "postgres" 2011-07-05 22:59:41 CDT FATAL: password authentication failed for user "postgres" 2011-07-05 23:02:00 CDT LOG: could not receive data from client: Connection reset by peer 2011-07-05 23:02:01 CDT LOG: could not receive data from client: Connection reset by peer 2011-07-05 23:04:32 CDT LOG: could not receive data from client: Connection reset by peer Here is the main part of my pg_hba.conf file: # Database administrative login by UNIX sockets local all postgres trust #local all postgres ident --wcb original line # TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD # "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only local all all trust # method above WAS ident --wcb # IPv4 local connections: host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5 # IPv6 local connections: host all all ::1/128 md5 I did a "find / -name pg_hba.conf" and this was the only file that was found. Based on what you are saying and the log file I have set up my pg_hba.conf file incorrectly. Any idea where I have gone awry?
