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 How To Start and Stop MySQL Database Server From A Shell Prompthttp://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/starting-and-stopping-mysql/ http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/starting-and-stopping-mysql/#comments Mon, 07 Apr 2008 11:54:47 +0000 Vivek Gite http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/?p=1054 http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/starting-and-stopping-mysql/feed/ 0 Restart Httpd Serverhttp://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/restart-httpd/ http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/restart-httpd/#comments Tue, 18 Mar 2008 20:11:47 +0000 Vivek Gite http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/?p=1025 http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/restart-httpd/feed/ 2
