Hi, I tried 7.4 beta2 and had difficulties setting up TCP/IP with it. It complains about mising pg_hba.conf-entry.
After installing and initdb I edited my postgres.conf to enable tcpip (tcpip_socket = true) and added a pg_hba.conf-entry like this: local all all trust host all all 192.168.41.0 255.255.255.0 trust host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trust 192.168.41.0/255.255.255.0 is the net we use. Next I started postmaster and tried to connect via TCP/IP. From the same host I set PGHOST to 127.0.0.1 and PGUSER to postgres and tried a psql -l. I got: psql: FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "::ffff:127.0.0.1", user "postgres", database "template1" It looks like postgres tries some IPv6-adresses and failes. Same with 7.3.4 works just fine. Tommi Mäkitalo ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
