Hi, I have a virtualbox with ubuntu 10.04 and Rails 3.04 installed and working.
A Week ago I installed Postgresql and I finally got the server to connect. I created a number of users and databases to try and resolve the PG error message but to no avail. The problem is that whenever I issue a command such as 'rake db:migrate' or 'rails c --sandbox' I get a FATAL: password authentication failed for "tom", that me :) I know its redundant to point this out but I am a complete novice. In my defence though I must point out that I take direction very well. My database.yml is as follows: development: adapter: postgresql database: testdb user: tom password: xxxxxxx pool: 5 timeout: 5000 my pg_hba.conf file is as follows: # databse admin login by UNIX sockets local all postgres --- md5 # 'local' is for Unix domain socket connections only local all all --- md5 # ipv4 local connections host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5 # ipv6 local connections host all all ::1/128 md5 then a blank line host all postgres 127.0.0.1/32 md5 host all tom 127.0.0.1/32 md5 host all all 192.168.1.1/32 md5 # type database user ip-address ip-mask method host all all 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 md5 I have listen_address="*" and password_encryption=on in the postgresql.conf file. I am not sure if I should put anything in .pgpass Any suggestions on what I should do next to resolve the authentication error that I get with all of my rails commands? Thanks in advance. fuzzy -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
