Hi,
I simply try to run psql on the terminal, and I get various error messages, depending on how I mess up the file "pg_hba.conf", for example by adding the following lines to it, among others:
local postgres postgres trust
local all postgres trust
I have spent the whole morning browsing the internet to find a solution to my problem, and I also tried backtracking from version 11 of PostgreSQL to version 10. I am pasting below some of the error messages that I get. The version 10 warns for no support for Mac; is that the problem?
Perhaps, it is me who hasn't been able to dig out the right information from the internet. However, I must say that I am quite surprised that things get so tedious immediately. I will thus be glad if you could help me with getting this running, perhaps by providing some up-to-date documentation.
Thanks,
Ozan
