5. Trouble Shooting¶
Q: I get an error message like: FATAL: Ident authentication failed
. How can I fix this ?
A: It’s because the setting of PostgreSQL database.
Try to modify the config file pg_hba.conf
.
For example, in PostgreSQL 9.5, the file is at /var/lib/pgsql/9.5/data/pg_hba.conf
.
Make sure you change part of the content of it into something like:
local all all peer
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 ident
host all all ::1/128 md5
