Re: [GENERAL] FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host “::1***"

Hi All,

I am using System DSN, that connects to postgreSQL, to fetch data from the
database, and put into xls sheet .Its working fine with most of the machines
and connects fine but on 1 machine i am getting this FATAL: no pg_hba.conf
entry for host “::1******”, user “postgres”, database “myDatabase", SSL off
error. Any idea why it is so, please suggest.

Thanks in advance ...

Regards,
Itishree

::1 is the IPv6 localhost. sounds like this system has ipv6 configured,
so you probably want a line in pg_hba.conf like...

hosts all all ::1 md5

(replace the md5 with whatever you normally use on the localhost linet
hat looks like

hosts all all 127.0.0.0/8 md5

the other common value is 'trust'. md5 requires a password, trust doesn't.

Hi John,

Thanks for your reply, however the the address is starting with host
"58.137.154.189". It was working fine before, however not working in new
system.

Well, that's an IPv4 address, and as John said it looks as if your new
system is trying to connect over IPv6.
