Обсуждение: trouble with connection
Hello, I am confused with the users configuration: I have created a user called webstar; granted it all on one database (called webstar). I want the user webstar to provide a password so I have the following pg_hba.conf # "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only local all webstar md5 local all all ident sameuser # IPv4 local connections: host all all 127.0.0.1/32 ident sameuser # IPv6 local connections: host all all ::1/128 ident sameuser this work fine from the command line where i can use pgsql with pgsql -U webstar -W I am prompted for a password and I can connect. Now when I try to connect from php I get pg_connect(): Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "webstar" it clearly says that the user webstar is trying for an ident connection, not a password one. and I do not understand why. can you enlighten me ? thanks in advance Didier

So ident sameuser means, that you have a systemuser called webstar. Does this user exist? If not, add the user with adduser webstar and provide a password. Then it should work. Cheers Andy

Where I am confused it that I created in pg_hba.conf an entry specifically for the user webstar local all webstar md5 and placed it before local all all ident sameuser This works from the command line to use psql. so, to me it seems to say that this works. It is only when connecting from php (using pg_connect) that it fails badly. I also tried as you suggested to 'adduser webstar' and I got the same Didier

PHP don't use the local-Method (socket), it connects via tcp/ip. So you need a host-entry: host all all x.y.z.y/mask md5 Replace the x.y.z.y/mask with your CIDR.
