getting this error message in ubuntu. in pg_hba.conf file, I tried using \'ident\',\'peer\',\'trust\',\'md5\' in different times.but no go. please help.

Answer 1

in your pg_hba.conf

# IPv4 local connections:
# TYPE  DATABASE    USER        CIDR-ADDRESS          METHOD
host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32         trust

if it does not work then try with

host    all         all         your_ip/32         trust

then restart your data base it will work fine
