Is your client machine on the same machine as the database?
Your pg_hba.conf file needs to have an entry in it that covers your
client machine. It's not 100% clear from your post whether you've
achieved that or not (I think you've added your server to the
pg_hba.conf, not your client).
So if my server is on 192.168.2.1 and my client is 10.10.10.1 then the
pg_hba.conf file needs:
# TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD
# IPv4 non-local connections:
host all all 10.10.10.1/32 trust
And the jdbc connect string will be something like
jdbc:postgresql://192.168.2.1/my_database
Can you post your pg_hba.conf file?
Cheers,
Robin

Hi,
Please can you assist.
I am trying to connect to PostgreSQL via JDBC.
Database version is 8.0.1 and java software version 1.4.2.
I have configured the pg_hba.conf file as follows
host all all ip_address/32 trust
ip_address is the ip_address of the host holding the database.
my connection string to postgres is as
'jdbc:postgresql://my_host:5432/my_database'
I'm getting the error message:
Connection error has occurred: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: FATAL: missing or erroneous pg_hba.conf file
what is the problem? Please, advise.
Regards,
Leena
