I am trying to use pgAdmin 1.8.4 to edit the pg_hba.conf file on a
PostgreSQL 8.3 database running on Ubuntu 8.10. I get the following
error message:
An error has occurred:
ERROR: absolute path not allowed
CONTEXT: SQL function "pg_file_length" statement 1
then...
Backend Access Configuration Editor -
/etc/postresql/8.3/main/pg_hba.conf on Kepler...
with a blank screen.
My configuration seems ok. Any help?
