postgresql pass through phpPgAdmin 2.4 but i can't because i get message
'Wrong username/password. Access denied', so how can i pass through to

password to pass through phpPgAdmin?

Can you give some more information about your pg_hba.conf and your
postgresql.conf. First  try with user=root and password=
and if it doesn't work please check your postgresql.conf and make sure the
tcpip socket =true. And check also your pg_hba.conf and make sure your ip
or
your network in there. I mean if you use phpPgAdmin in the different
machine.


Type  database        user    ip address      ip-mask         methode
loca    all                     all     192.168.0.0   255.255.255.0
trust

make sure -h options works too.....
it-psql# psql -h192.168.0.1 -Upostgres template1

if -h option works your server works also with tcp/ip protocol to connect
with client.

/******************************** IMPORTANT SECURITY NOTICE
********************************
 By default, Postgres does not check passwords through a local connection.
This is
 a major security if connecting through a local unix socket with phpPgAdmin.
You
 have a few options to close this security hole:
 1. You can connect through a TCP connection (use the -i option to start
postgres)
  - Set $cfgServers[*]['local'] = false;
  - Edit your $PGDATA/pg_hba.conf file to accept connections from localhost
   with password authentication
 2. Edit your $PGDATA/pg_hba.conf file to use password authentication
through a
  local connection.

If you're seeing "connection refused" then the connection attempt is
never reaching the postmaster at all.  It's not clear from what you
say above that you've actually started the postmaster.  If you did start
the postmaster, perhaps you have packet filtering turned on that
prevents connections to port 5432?  (The default configuration in recent
Red Hat releases will filter such connections, for example.)
