I'm trying to access a postgresql database via the graphical frontends pgAccess and phpPgAdmin, running under FC6 (completely up-to-date via yum). The access control file, pg_hba.conf, contains # TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD local all all md5 host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5 host all all ::1/128 md5 host all all 192.168.0.3 255.255.255.255 md5 and I've edited /etc/init.d/postgresql to launch the postmaster with the -i option to allow remote connections. With pgAccess, I am unable to open the database using the host localhost (couldn't open socket: host is unreachable), but using the ip (192.168.0.3) works fine; at least after adding the final line shown in my pg_hba.conf above. With phpPgAdmin, when I enter http://localhost/phpPgAdmin in the browser, I'm delivered to phpPgAdmin login page, but cannot login/open the database (error message: login failed). However, when I enter http://192.168.0.3/phpPgAdmin in the browser (the line that works for pgAcess), I can't even get to the login screen message: (error message: Forbidden: You don't have permission to access /phpPgAdmin on this server). I have read through the docs and online forums, and experimented with various settings in pg_hba.conf, config.inc.php, php.ini, /etc/init.d/postgresql, postgresql.conf, etc., as described in various posts, but I'm stumped. I haven't seen this exact behavior described before and was hoping it might enable on of you to tell me what I'm missing or where I might look next. Thanks for your help.
