The most recent Postgres version 8.4.2 has changed the default client authentication mechanisms in pg_hba.conf from "trust" to "ident" and "md5". This is at least true of the Ubuntu package distribution. This has the unfortunate result of breaking the fresh_install ant script for deploying DSpace with a database authentication exception. My experience was with a recent DSpace 1.5.2 distribution.
At the very least, DSpace install documentation should probably specify the appropriate authentication mechanism in pg_hba.conf to support the local jdbc connection made by the ant fresh_install script. Whether this is the most appropriate solution is another question. -- ------------ William Hays Technology Research & Development MIT Libraries E25-131 617.324.5682 (phone) [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Dspace-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-devel
