Then I will assume that you have checked the correct order of parameters, and that all items are correctly capitalized (pgsql is quite case sensitive as far as the dbname, username, and password).

Concerning phppgadmin, am I correct in "guessing" that this is a local admin tool of some sort which is being run on the same machine as the db server, and accessed remotely through a web browser?

If so, it is possible that the server was not configured to allow remote authentication to the database, or possibly to the postgres account. I would ask the ISP to check the pg_hba.conf file and make sure that unencrypted remote connections to the server are allowed.

It may be a matter of having the server configured to accept remote connections, but not set up to accept a compatible authentication scheme from a remote connection.

Frank,

Thanks for the reply, but I'm not using "ask password".
I'm just using the pwd for postgres as a parameter for
revopendatabase, and it doesn't work.
And I know that the user & pwd are OK since I can login
to the DB via phppgadmin...

JB

If you are prompting for the password via "ask password", make sure you
specify the "clear" option (see the docs), otherwise the "ask" dialog
encrypts the password before returning it, and you give the wrong value
to revOpenDatabase.

Hi list,

I'm trying to connect to postgres via RR on an XP box.
Postgres is installed and working (I can login via phppgadmin),
and port 5432 is open on the firewall...
When I try to open the connection (with revopendatabase or the
query builder) I get the following message :
Revdb error : FATAL authentication failed for user "postgres".

I know that user & password are correct since I use them with
phppgadmin... My isp says the problem comes from my Rev
scripts...

Any idea of what I should do / modify / try / look at to solve the
problem ?

Thanks,
JB
