When I connect to a remote database I get this message: "An error has occured:
Error connecting to the server: FATAL: Missing or erroneous ph_hba.conf file, see postmaster log for details." Naturally I have something wrong, this is NOT a bug report for that, rather it is a plea (RFE) for a more informative message. This message falls down in a number of ways: 1) Is it missing or is it erroneous? Why doesn't pgadmin know the difference? 2) Is the file on the local system or remote system? 3) Where is the ph_hba.conf file? 4) What is erroneous about it? 5) Where is the postmaster log file, on which machine, and what details am I looking for? 6) Why doesn't this box allow me to view the log file? 7) Last and least: occurred has two 'r's ;-) -Nigel Horne ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
