authentication error

From

Hi,

I try to connect using psql test from localhost.  I got:
FATAL 1:  No pg_hba.conf entry for host localhost, user postgres,
database test

I double checked that I have done the following:
I started server using: postmaster -i -D /var/lib/pgsql/data >logfile
2>&1 &

In my pg_hba.conf file I have:
host       all         127.0.0.1     255.255.255.0    trust
local   all     reject

Are there anything else I need to do ?  or anything I did wrong ?
I try to force the connection go through tcp/ip.
Please advice if you can.

thanks in advance,

Jie

Can you connect without a host option if yes then check your
postgresql.conf file (should be in the same dir as pg_hba.conf)  check
for a line tcpip_socket = true if not found write it and then restart
the postmaster.

Good luck

hi,

Try changing the last line to

 local     all        trust

and restart the postmaster.

hope this helps.

Hello,

where can I find a tutorial about 'HowTo setup a PostgreSQL Server'.
I don't mean howto install. I want to know what can I do to maximize the
Performance of the whole system.

I found some posting here, but this can't be all I can do...

Thanks for your Help,
