Thanks for the help. It works. I'm also posting my two .conf file that I had to configure. postgresql.conf: [root@thomas data]# cat postgresql.conf # ----------------------------- # PostgreSQL configuration file # ----------------------------- # # This file consists of lines of the form: # # name = value # # (The '=' is optional.) White space may be used. Comments are introduced # with '#' anywhere on a line. The complete list of option names and # allowed values can be found in the PostgreSQL documentation. The # commented-out settings shown in this file represent the default values. # # Any option can also be given as a command line switch to the # postmaster, e.g. 'postmaster -c log_connections=on'. Some options # can be changed at run-time with the 'SET' SQL command. # # This file is read on postmaster startup and when the postmaster # receives a SIGHUP. If you edit the file on a running system, you have # to SIGHUP the postmaster for the changes to take effect, or use # "pg_ctl reload". #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # CONNECTIONS AND AUTHENTICATION #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # - Connection Settings - # Thomas Bonham 06-25-2005 #tcpip_socket = false tcpip_socket = yes max_connections = 100 # note: increasing max_connections costs about 500 bytes of shared # memory per connection slot, in addition to costs from shared_buffers # and max_locks_per_transaction. superuser_reserved_connections = 2 port = 5432 #unix_socket_directory = '' #unix_socket_group = '' #unix_socket_permissions = 0777 # octal #virtual_host = '' # what interface to listen on; defaults to any #rendezvous_name = '' # defaults to the computer name # - Security & Authentication - #authentication_timeout = 60 # 1-600, in seconds #ssl = false password_encryption = true #krb_server_keyfile = '' #db_user_namespace = false #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # RESOURCE USAGE (except WAL) #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # - Memory - shared_buffers = 1000 # min 16, at least max_connections*2, 8KB each #sort_mem = 1024 # min 64, size in KB #vacuum_mem = 8192 # min 1024, size in KB # - Free Space Map - #max_fsm_pages = 20000 # min max_fsm_relations*16, 6 bytes each #max_fsm_relations = 1000 # min 100, ~50 bytes each # - Kernel Resource Usage - #max_files_per_process = 1000 # min 25 #preload_libraries = '' #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # WRITE AHEAD LOG #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # - Settings - #fsync = true # turns forced synchronization on or off #wal_sync_method = fsync # the default varies across platforms: # fsync, fdatasync, open_sync, or open_datasync #wal_buffers = 8 # min 4, 8KB each # - Checkpoints - #checkpoint_segments = 3 # in logfile segments, min 1, 16MB each #checkpoint_timeout = 300 # range 30-3600, in seconds #checkpoint_warning = 30 # 0 is off, in seconds #commit_delay = 0 # range 0-100000, in microseconds #commit_siblings = 5 # range 1-1000 #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # QUERY TUNING #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # - Planner Method Enabling - #enable_hashagg = true #enable_hashjoin = true #enable_indexscan = true #enable_mergejoin = true #enable_nestloop = true #enable_seqscan = true #enable_sort = true #enable_tidscan = true # - Planner Cost Constants - #effective_cache_size = 1000 # typically 8KB each #random_page_cost = 4 # units are one sequential page fetch cost #cpu_tuple_cost = 0.01 # (same) #cpu_index_tuple_cost = 0.001 # (same) #cpu_operator_cost = 0.0025 # (same) # - Genetic Query Optimizer - #geqo = true #geqo_threshold = 11 #geqo_effort = 1 #geqo_generations = 0 #geqo_pool_size = 0 # default based on tables in statement, # range 128-1024 #geqo_selection_bias = 2.0 # range 1.5-2.0 # - Other Planner Options - #default_statistics_target = 10 # range 1-1000 #from_collapse_limit = 8 #join_collapse_limit = 8 # 1 disables collapsing of explicit JOINs #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # ERROR REPORTING AND LOGGING #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # - Syslog - #syslog = 0 # range 0-2; 0=stdout; 1=both; 2=syslog #syslog_facility = 'LOCAL0' #syslog_ident = 'postgres' # - When to Log - #client_min_messages = notice # Values, in order of decreasing detail: # debug5, debug4, debug3, debug2, debug1, # log, info, notice, warning, error #log_min_messages = notice # Values, in order of decreasing detail: # debug5, debug4, debug3, debug2, debug1, # info, notice, warning, error, log, fatal, # panic #log_error_verbosity = default # terse, default, or verbose messages #log_min_error_statement = panic # Values in order of increasing severity: # debug5, debug4, debug3, debug2, debug1, # info, notice, warning, error, panic(off) #log_min_duration_statement = -1 # Log all statements whose # execution time exceeds the value, in # milliseconds.

A short synopsis # follows. # # This file controls: which hosts are allowed to connect, how clients # are authenticated, which PostgreSQL user names they can use, which # databases they can access. Records take one of seven forms: # # local DATABASE USER METHOD [OPTION] # host DATABASE USER IP-ADDRESS IP-MASK METHOD [OPTION] # hostssl DATABASE USER IP-ADDRESS IP-MASK METHOD [OPTION] # hostnossl DATABASE USER IP-ADDRESS IP-MASK METHOD [OPTION] # host DATABASE USER IP-ADDRESS/CIDR-MASK METHOD [OPTION] # hostssl DATABASE USER IP-ADDRESS/CIDR-MASK METHOD [OPTION] # hostnossl DATABASE USER IP-ADDRESS/CIDR-MASK METHOD [OPTION] # # (The uppercase quantities should be replaced by actual values.) # The first field is the connection type: "local" is a Unix-domain socket, # "host" is either a plain or SSL-encrypted TCP/IP socket, "hostssl" is an # SSL-encrypted TCP/IP socket, and "hostnossl" is a plain TCP/IP socket. # DATABASE can be "all", "sameuser", "samegroup", a database name (or # a comma-separated list thereof), or a file name prefixed with "@". # USER can be "all", an actual user name or a group name prefixed with # "+" or a list containing either. IP-ADDRESS and IP-MASK specify the # set of hosts the record matches. CIDR-MASK is an integer between 0 # and 32 (IPv6) or 128(IPv6) inclusive, that specifies the number of # significant bits in the mask, so an IPv4 CIDR-MASK of 8 is equivalent # to an IP-MASK of 255.0.0.0, and an IPv6 CIDR-MASK of 64 is equivalent # to an IP-MASK of ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::. METHOD can be "trust", "reject", # "md5", "crypt", "password", "krb4", "krb5", "ident", or "pam". Note # that "password" uses clear-text passwords; "md5" is preferred for # encrypted passwords. OPTION is the ident map or the name of the PAM # service. # # This file is read on server startup and when the postmaster receives # a SIGHUP signal. If you edit the file on a running system, you have # to SIGHUP the postmaster for the changes to take effect, or use # "pg_ctl reload". # Put your actual configuration here # ---------------------------------- # # CAUTION: The default configuration allows any local user to connect # using any PostgreSQL user name, including the superuser, over either # Unix-domain sockets or TCP/IP. If you are on a multiple-user # machine, the default configuration is probably too liberal for you. # Change it to use something other than "trust" authentication. # # If you want to allow non-local connections, you need to add more # "host" records. Also, remember TCP/IP connections are only enabled # if you enable "tcpip_socket" in postgresql.conf. # TYPE DATABASE USER IP-ADDRESS IP-MASK METHOD # Thomas Bonham 06-27-2005 # IPv4-style local connections: host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trust # IPv6-style local connections: #host all all ::1 ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff trust # Using sockets credentials for improved security.
