Thanks for your help!
I have modified my pg_hda.conf as the DOC said, and I can login with my
password use "psql" in terminal. But it still remains a problem that I
can't acess to my database through webclients such as PhpPgAdmin and my
other phpclient.

What's wrong then?
Thank you again!

What's the exact error message?  What's different between the psql
connections and the PHP connections?  One possibility is that psql
is using a local (Unix socket) connection and PHP is using a host
(TCP/IP) connection, and the server isn't accepting TCP/IP connections
on the required interface.  Have you looked at the tcpip_socket and
virtual_host settings in postgresql.conf?  Be sure to restart
PostgreSQL if you change anything.

The "Client Authentication" and "Server Run-time Environment"
chapters of the documentation describe how to configure pg_hba.conf
and postgresql.conf.
