Dear my friends.... I am trying to config my postgres on SuSE 10 but it does not run properly. I want to use tcp/ip connection because I am going to use KNoda to administrate the database. I just installed the postgres and it was installed successfully. But I can not login with psql: " acer-suse:/usr/local/pgsql # psql rumahsakit psql: FATAL: database "rumahsakit" does not exist acer-suse:/usr/local/pgsql # psql -U postgres -W Password for user postgres: psql: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "postgres" acer-suse:/usr/local/pgsql # " I created the rumahsakit database from YaST2 (Miscellanous-->postgres administration). Please tell me, why does my postgres not run properly? Thank you very much in advance. this is my postgresql.conf: ========= #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # FILE LOCATIONS #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # The default values of these variables are driven from the -D command #line # switch or PGDATA environment variable, represented here as ConfigDir. #data_directory = 'ConfigDir' # use data in another directory #hba_file = #'ConfigDir/pg_hba.conf' # host-based authentication file #ident_file = 'ConfigDir/pg_ident.conf' # IDENT configuration file # If external_pid_file is not explicitly set, no extra pid file is #written. #external_pid_file = '(none)' # write an extra pid file #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # CONNECTIONS AND AUTHENTICATION #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # - Connection Settings - # what IP address(es) to listen on; listen_addresses = '192.168.1.65' # comma-separated list of addresses; defaults to 'localhost', '*' = all port = 5433 max_connections = 150 # note: increasing max_connections costs ~400 bytes of shared memory #per # connection slot, plus lock space (see max_locks_per_transaction).
