Thread: help (maybe i'm a little stupid)
hi everybody. i've a little problem and i don't know where are faq of ng. (if you want, address me there, so you don't have to answer my boring question ;-) ) . i made a page in php interfacing with postgresql server. i had a problem but i solve that one assuming postmaster with options -i and specifying port 5432. but then, when i call via browser my page, it returns error "fatal1: user apache does not exist...". if i must modify pg_hba.conf, how can i do? thanx fab fabrizio@eleveners.com
ph_hba.conf controls which machines can connect to postgresql and lines are easy to add if you lok at the examples contained within the file. however yuo would get an error that says 'there is no entry in pg_hba.conf for ipX.X.X.X' or something like that - what you probably need to do is add a database user using 'createuser' ...

Look for the "createuser" shell command. And don't forget to give the permission
for the tables to this user ("GRANT" command on the psql prompt).
OR
Connect to the databes as the database super (NOT RECOMMENDED).
INHO the best thing is to create an user apache without permission for
database or table creation.

Yeah but, in 7.2.1 isn't it true that there is no way to stop a user from
being able to create tables??? I tried myself, with no success, and later
read on the newsgroup that it is a feature to be coming soon, but current
release 7.2.1 does not have that control.

i've just tested this and it seems to be the case.
i created a test db, then a test table, then a test user called fred.
then i did a revoke all on fred and then granted select.
then i connected as fred and tried to create a table and the table was
created.
i wouldn't have expected this to be the case ...

no :-)
just add
"sameuser" under
DATABASE
in your configuration line in pg_hba.conf
or read this:
# This record identifies networked hosts that are
permitted to connect
# via IP connections.
#
# Format:
#
# host DBNAME IP_ADDRESS ADDRESS_MASK AUTH_TYPE
[AUTH_ARGUMENT]
#
# DBNAME can be:
# o the name of a PostgreSQL database
# o "all" to indicate all databases
# o "sameuser" to allow access only to databases with
the same
# name as the connecting user
so replace "all" with "sameuser" where you need this.
# TYPE DATABASE IP_ADDRESS MASK
AUTH_TYPE AUTH_ARGUMENT
local all

well, solving my problems, i noticed that:
- i had to create user apache with ono permissions granted at psql level (no
creation db, no create user)
- i had to reinstall php (4.2.17) and its php-pgsql interfaces
- after all operation i restarted services invoked above.
eh eh, reading so, it seems to me, i'm very stupid....
;-)
thanx again to all
