I am trying to setup postgresql 7.4.2 on Red Hat Enterprise ver 3.0. I installed every rpm from the download directory:
$ rpm -qa | grep postgres postgresql-docs-7.4.2-1PGDG postgresql-contrib-7.4.2-1PGDG postgresql-test-7.4.2-1PGDG postgresql-libs-7.4.2-1PGDG postgresql-debuginfo-7.4.2-1PGDG postgresql-pl-7.4.2-1PGDG postgresql-7.4.2-1PGDG postgresql-devel-7.4.2-1PGDG postgresql-python-7.4.2-1PGDG postgresql-server-7.4.2-1PGDG postgresql-tcl-7.4.2-1PGDG postgresql-jdbc-7.4.2-1PGDG I did "initdb -W -D /var/lib/pgsql/data" and it apparently worked. I added a line to pg_hba.conf: host all 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 md5 I started the server via "service postgresql start" and it appears to be running OK. I tried to log into the server (from userid postgres) but it failed: $ psql template1 psql: FATAL: missing or erroneous pg_hba.conf file HINT: See server log for details. The log file shows: LOG: invalid entry in pg_hba.conf file at line 67, token "md5" FATAL: missing or erroneous pg_hba.conf file HINT: See server log for details. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
