I've installed Postgresql under Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x server. I've created username / password and database. But when I try to connect it via PHP or psql using following syntax:
psql -d myDb -U username -W
It gives me an error that read as follows:
psql: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "username"
How do I fix this error?]]> http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/psql-fatal-ident-authentication-failed-for-user/feed/ 19
