On postgresql.conf I changed the listen_address to *.
Then commented the first host entry on pg_hba.conf
then restarted the server.
I wasnt able to log to the client on the command line (psql) because or missing or erroneos pg_hba.conf. So I added again the first host entry and restarted the server again. This time I was able to log using the client.
So I tried again the java application and I have the same error message!...
BUT I JUST RECEIVED THE ANSWERED FROM A FEDORA FORUM!!! I wouldn't have guessed it never!!
It turns out that the pg_hba.conf does not accept names to identify a host, only IPs and i have the name of one of my computers. I removed that host line and it works!!!
The person who posted refers to this URL: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/client-authentication.html#AUTH-PG-HBA-CONF
Thanks alot for your help!!

Check the parameter listen_addresses in the postgresql.conf file to set the correct value for you (may be '*' to test).
Remove or comment the first host entry. I guess it is not a valid CIDR-ADDRESS value ;-)
Restart your server and try again your java application.

I have a box running Fedora Core 6. I installed the Postgres Server using yum, so i have the distributing software.
Ever since i installed it im having problems connecting my java applications to the database.
But first thing first:
This is the error message i get when connecting to the database:
Checking if Driver is registered with DriverManager.
Registered the driver ok, so let's make a connection.
Couldn't connect: print out a stack trace and exit.
org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: FATAL: missing or erroneous pg_hba.conf file

the pg_hba.conf file is located in: /var/lib/pgsql/data and it looks like this:
# TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
#local all all ident sameuser
local all all md5
# IPv4 local connections:
#host all all 127.0.0.1/32 ident sameuser
host all all ubuntu md5
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
# IPv6 local connections:
#host all all ::1/128 ident sameuser
host all all ::1/128 md5
somewhere I read that i should live a blank line at the very bottom of the file, so i have... Also, i have checked that each value is separated by a tab. Also, i read that the PATH and the LD_LIBRARY_PATH should include the path to the postgres configuration. So on /etc/bashrc i have the following:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$JMFHOME/lib:/var/lib/pgsql/data/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=/var/lib/pgsql/data/:$PATH
Now, this is the weird thing... I can connect using the psql client.
psql -t template1 -U damunoz
and then entering the password....
So I have no idea what is going on... I tested with different drivers with the same results. My guess is that maybe this has something to do with the Fedora's distribution. I will post this same message to them as well.
Thanks in advance for your help!
