Thread: Unsupported frontend protocol? & config systems files?

I am having problems with pgaccess on my X windows. I am using redhat
linux 6.1
postgresql 6.5.2.  When I open pgaccess and connect to my databases I
get my list of tables. When I click on any table to open up the data, it
just sits there with that little clock icon. After a long will, it will
spit out an error. Has anyon ever ran into this type of problem and most
importantly, how do you fix it? I can access everything fine with psql
and jdbc, this is the only tool that gives me any problems.

You should take a look at the pg_hba.conf file in the PG_DATA dir.  You
probably either don't have an entry for the machine you are using to
connect from or you haven't started with the -i option to enable TCP/IP
connections.

Also, it would help to know what the client is (PHP, a C program compiled
with libpq, a PERL program using DBI, psql....)
