Hi, I have a similar probem as reported recently on the list (unfortunately without result)
I have set up a new server (2.8.1) and configured it accordingly. The server is listening on 8000: de-dd-srv-1325:~ # netstat -tupan | grep python tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 6446/python Postgres is running: de-dd-srv-1325:~ # ps aux | grep postgres postgres 6040 0.0 0.4 93768 8260 ? S 11:21 0:00 /usr/lib/postgresql92/bin/postgres -D /var/lib/pgsql/data postgres 6041 0.0 0.0 62148 1260 ? Ss 11:21 0:00 postgres: logger process postgres 6043 0.0 0.0 93768 1432 ? Ss 11:21 0:00 postgres: checkpointer process postgres 6044 0.0 0.0 93768 1436 ? Ss 11:21 0:00 postgres: writer process postgres 6045 0.0 0.0 93768 1204 ? Ss 11:21 0:00 postgres: wal writer process postgres 6046 0.0 0.1 94580 2676 ? Ss 11:21 0:00 postgres: autovacuum launcher process postgres 6047 0.0 0.0 62144 1472 ? Ss 11:21 0:00 postgres: stats collector process ...and the role for user tryton was changed with a new password: srv-1325:~ # su postgres postgres@de-dd-srv-1325:/root> psql -c "ALTER ROLE tryton WITH PASSWORD 'DBAdminPasswort';" ALTER ROLE So far so good. Nothing different to the various test installations I did on the same platform, except that I have a remote machine now and no local client. When connecting from an external machine to create the first database I get the error "Could not connect to server" >From the tryton user FAQ I found the postgres check: de-dd-srv-1325:~ # su tryton -s /bin/bash tryton@de-dd-srv-1325:/root> psql -h localhost psql: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "tryton" ...I was looking for this mysterious pg_hba.conf file but could not spot it. Any idea if this is the reason, or what to try? Thanks Axel
