Pgbouncer.ini file [databases] MYDB = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=MYDB user=MYDB_MYDB client_encoding=utf8 port=5432 password=='bypass' 2. In the auth_file (with auth_type set to "md5") auth_type = md5 auth_file = /var/lib/pgsql/pgbouncer.txt Inside the auth_file: "me" "<an md5 string>" 3. In the PHP file where I need to call with pg_connect() function. This is the postgresql database user as usual. pg_connect("host=127.0.0.1 dbname=$db port=6432 user=$user password=$pass"); Questions: a. For #2, the pgbouncer password, do I need to create this "me" user somewhere, or just writing here in the auth_file is fine? I have not "created" this user anywhere else yet. Just written the user name and md5 of the password in the auth_file. b. In the connection string in #3 above, I need to be mentioning the pgbouncer user name, right? Will the password then be md5 as in auth_file? Or nothing? -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
