Hi, I've installed PostgreSQL 9.0 in CentOS6 I don't have configured anything in Postgre, I just created a user with this method: [article] Here is how I do to create a Postgres user with the same username as my regular login in Linux Ubuntu. Go to your terminal with your regular user and do: {{{ yourusername$ sudo su - postgres }}} Ok, now you are as postgres user. To access to postgres do: {{{ postgres$ psql }}} Now that you are in postgres terminal, do this: {{{ postgres=# create user yourusername with createdb createrole password 'newpassword'; }}} an then do: {{{ postgres=# create database yourusername with owner yourusername; }}} And now you can do this: {{{ postgres=# \q postgres$ exit yourusername$ psql ... yourusername=# ...... }}} Remember that this will create a postgres user with the same username as your regular login, a password, and the privileges to create more databases and users. [/article] With the method above I have no problems in enter "psql" but when I try to connect with the user created with these method to a webapp I got an error: [code] Exception Value: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "mypoatgreuser" [/code] There is more permissions that I must to give to the user "mypoatgreuser"? What could be wrong here? Best Regards, -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
