Christian, Don't reinstall - not necessary, the problem is as you correctly identified is with the postgres pg_hba.conf I am not a postgres expert but had similar problems on an Ubuntu install ....
Try this for starters and try and isolate down to your IPv4, then maybe switch on and off sections to see where the problem occurs (Remembering to restart postgres between changes) I am assuming apache has been set up to just run localhost so that http://localhost/repo/ brings you to the fossology instance. ################################################## # "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only #local all all trust # IPv4 local connections: host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust # IPv6 local connections: #host all all ::1/128 trust ################################################## The postgres site has some good documentation in order to configure this later on - but I assume you want to try and get this running. Hope this helps, as I said no expert but just from my installation experience.

(on a RHEL 5.2 x86_64) By start of scheduler: 2009-02-13 10:53:47 scheduler[11317] : *** Scheduler started 2009-02-13 10:53:47 scheduler[11317] : FATAL: Unable to connect to database Db.conf: ------------ dbname=fossology; host=localhost; user=fossy; password=fossy; ------------ DB instance is up and running: -------------------------- [fo...@reikland ~]$ psql -d fossology -h localhost -U fossy -W Password for user fossy: Welcome to psql 8.1.11, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal. Type: \copyright for distribution terms \h for help with SQL commands \? for help with psql commands \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query \q to quit fossology=> -------------------- Following a suggestion from Mary Laser, the following was done: I have changed all "trust" to "md5" in following part of pg_hba.conf and restarted postgresql. ################################################## # "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only local all all trust # IPv4 local connections: host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust # IPv6 local connections: host all all ::1/128 trust ################################################## Then i tryed to restart scheduler again. Those changes had no effect, the scheduler still fails. However the postgresql log file does not consists mentioning of "apachedb" anymore. Any further ideas ? should i drop the db and reinstall fossology again ? Would it help ?
