Tom Lane, Thanks for your response, Actually, we don't directly use postgre server,we open TCP connection to support postgre wire protocol, so psql client can connect to our application, I found the problem is in the StartupMessage, when psql client version is 8.1.4, the major and minor version in StartupMessage is 1234 and 5679, not 3 and 0, that is the problem, I want to know whether it is the bug of 8.1.4, or I can do some configuration?
Thanks again for your answer Thanks, Justin -----Original Message----- From: Tom Lane [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 22, 2008 9:43 PM To: TIAN Justin Cc: Heikki Linnakangas; pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org Subject: Re: [BUGS] error message "psql: expected authentication request from server, but received " when using psql to connect remote database "TIAN Justin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Thanks for your quick response; the server we used is 8.1.4, > The error when using client 8.1.4, >> psql -U or -p 2222 -d testdb -h localhost > Output: > psql: expected authentication request from server, but received What is in the server's pg_hba.conf file?
