okay, I have changed that line to:    local  all    all   trust

and I phpBB can connect to the DB now but with a new problem from
phoBB3:    The database you have selected was not created in UNICODE
or UTF8 encoding. Try installing with a database in UNICODE or UTF8
encoding.


what to do about it ?

Well exactly that. What information is missing?

There is a parameter on createdb command line
(As well as CREATEDB command in SQL) which
needs to be set to unicode.

Hint: to get collation right, you might want to
initdb first (with empty $PGDATA) with correct
locale settings (including charset UTF-8 which will
then be the default encoding for all subsequent
created databases.

default is ISO-8859. I can't make it to UTF8 because then my VLC stops
working :\ . Quite very unusual problem.
