The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 5329 Logged by: Olivier Jeannet Email address: olivier.jean...@gmail.com PostgreSQL version: 8.4.2 Operating system: Fedora 12 on x86_64 Description: postmaster fails to start because of an erroneous pg_hba.conf, but doesn't output any error Details:
After having modified "pg_hba.conf" in bad way, with the following line (the IP address is not used and not wanted) : local all all 127.0.0.1 md5 postmaster was unable to start as usual. I had a hard time finding the problem, as nothing is ouput on the command line or in the logs. I suggest to print something when halting on a configuration file parsing problem.
