can someone please help ?

postgresql-10

fedora 27

our hba_conf that worked with pg 9x

local    all   all       postgres                peer

host    all    all       127.0.0.1/32         md5

host    all    all       ::1/128                  md5

now gives error on restart and we cannot find the  log file

postgres remains so damn difficult and time wasting to quickly get up
and running  vs other db's and docs don't help much

See, I feel exactly the opposite. The docs are some of the best of any database or open source software I've used. Postgres also does the "right" thing almost all the time, making it predictable.

now gives error on restart and we cannot find the  log file

What error? Where did you look for the log files? Did you try running the deamon directly to see if that gives any additional information?

Hi,

"local" is for socket connections, yet you have an address of
"postgres". How did this function in the past?

Exactly what do you mean by "gives error on restart". The database
starts and you can connect, then you shut it down and then you start it
again, it fails?

Cheers,
Rob

Sorta, but correct enough. Local lines and host lines have differing
numbers of columns. As written the auth-method is "Postgres" with
auth-option of "md5" (i.e., there is no address column for local) which is
simply wrong. Whether it's an email typo or the actual file...

I suspect it's possible we used to ignore malformed lines whereas now we
error...

bingo!  Thks - should be "local all postgres  peer"  (how many times we
looked at this and didn't see it  (:   But if this setup is not good, we
would like to know what it should be - our case is for accessing from
Ruby app using pg gem on same server (at least for now)

No, the docs for understanding  hba_conf are not good (yes we can read
and are fairly smart)  - we made suggestions the last time for several
case examples and were ignored - okay, simplicity of pouchdb/couchdb  is
getting our attention

Can you point to a link where the hba docs are suboptimal and suggest to
the mailing list an improvement?
