 Posted: Fri Jun 18, 2010 8:19 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] phppgadmin: login failed |
 |
|
Hi
I have installed apache2, php, and postgres.
My web application can log in to my postgres data base
and read and manipulate data there.
But when i log in to phppgadmin with the exact same user
and password as in my web application i always get 'login failed'
My /var/www/localhost/htdocs/phppgadmin/conf/config.inc.php is 'out of the box'
and i have 2 pg_hba.conf instances (both identical, and 'out of the box'): | Code: |
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 3652 Jun 13 20:32 /usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 3652 Jun 12 19:10 /var/lib/postgresql/8.4/data/pg_hba.conf
|
Their content: | Code: | # TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local all all trust
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::1/128 trust
|
Has anybody got a suggestion for me?
Thank You in advance
Jody

Can you log in as the root postgres user? If not, watch for the config file -- phppgadmin doesn't allow root access for security reasons. Once solved that issue, log in as root, and verify the database permissions for that user in particular.
Regards,
Paul.

Hi
I changed 'extra_login_secutirty' to false in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/phppgadmin/conf/config.inc.php | Code: | | $conf['extra_login_security'] = false; |
But even so my postgres user can't log in to phppgadmin.
Anway, i think the database permission are in order, because all my db-users
can log in through psql or in my php-script by means of 'pg_connect'

Hi titanofold

Would this be a setting in a configuration file? (if yes which one?)
Thank You

Yes, in phppgadmin's config file. You told it where the server is located. (Something along the lines of 'host = . . . .')
If you didn't specify a host, then it'll use the Unix socket to communicate with the server . . . maybe.
You must have told phppgadmin where to find the server, so where did you tell it the server was located?

hi
thanks for your reply.
I checked the config file ' config.inc.php' and changed the relevant entry from
| Code: | // Hostname or IP address for server. Use '' for UNIX domain socket.
// use 'localhost' for TCP/IP connection on this computer
$conf['servers'][0]['host'] = '';
|
to | Code: | | $conf['servers'][0]['host'] = 'localhost'; |
and now i
can log in to phppgadmin.
Thanks again
Jody |

If you want to utilize the Unix domain socket, you'll have to add the apache system user to the postgres system group.
| Code: | | usermod -a -G postgres apache |
As only users in the postgres system group can read/write from/to the socket.
