Hello, I am having trouble connecting to PostgreSQL 8.2 from an Apache2 web server using certificates. I have set up a CA on my server and used it to sign a certificate (server.crt) created in a signing request based on a private key (server.key), both of which reside in my PostgreSQL data directory. I have also made a copy of the CA certificate file as root.crt, which I have placed in the data directory so that PostgreSQL can check the certificate coming from the web server. The home directory of the web server contains a subdirectory .postgresql in which I have placed a private key (postgresql.key) and a certificate (postgresql.crt), based on the key, that was signed by the CA. I have tried various owner/group/permissions combinations for WEB_HOME/.postgresql/postgresql.key. I have had it set as root:root with 700 permissions, postgresql:root with 700, and postgresql:postgresql with 700. I've also tried these various combinations with 750 permissions. Regardless, when I try to connect, I get the following error message: Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: private key file "/var/www/.postgresql/postgresql.key" has wrong permissions Is there something obvious that I am doing wrong? I've tried to stick as closely to the documentation as I could.
