Hi all,

this is the problem I am facing.

I have PG 8.3 running on a KUBUNTU installation running on a virtual
machine. From inside the virtual machine I can use PGADMIN to manage PG
but when I try to connect from the xp machine I have this error: "Error
connecting to the server:FATAL: missing or erroneous pg_hba.conf file" .

I set the permission in the pg_hba.conf on the server.

The machine talk each oher, I can ping and use telnet on the 5432 port.

The log on the server does not report any problem.

Ideas?


If you can telnet then I would say your network and firewall is right and the error with pg_hba.conf is where you need to look.

The pg_hba.conf is located in the data dir that you have specified for postgresql. Is it there? What entries do you have after all the comments? The errornous part would indicate a small syntax error or did you edit it on windows with cr/nl characters and copy it across to linux?
