no pg_hba.conf entry for host
If you can change this line:
host all all 192.168.0.1/32 md5
With this:
host all all all md5
You can see if this solves the problem.
But another consideration is your postgresql port(5432) is very open to password attacks with hackers (maybe they can brute force the password). You can change your postgresql port 5432 to '33333' or another value, so they can't know this configuration.
In your pg_hba.conf file, I see some incorrect and confusing lines:
# fine, this allows all dbs, all users, to be trusted from 192.168.0.1/32# not recommend because of the lax permissionshost all all 192.168.0.1/32 trust# wrong, /128 is an invalid netmask for ipv4, this line should be removedhost all all 192.168.0.1/128 trust# this conflicts with the first line# it says that that the password should be md5 and not plaintext# I think the first line should be removedhost all all 192.168.0.1/32 md5# this is fine except is it unnecessary because of the previous line# which allows any user and any database to connect with md5 passwordhost chaosLRdb postgres 192.168.0.1/32 md5# wrong, on local lines, an IP cannot be specified# remove the 4th columnlocal all all 192.168.0.1/32 trust
I suspect that if you md5'd the password, this might work if you trim the lines. To get the md5 you can use perl or the following shell script:
echo -n 'chaos123' | md5sum > d6766c33ba6cf0bb249b37151b068f10 -
So then your connect line would like something like:
my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:PgPP:database=chaosLRdb;host=192.168.0.1;port=5433", "chaosuser", "d6766c33ba6cf0bb249b37151b068f10");
For more information, here's the documentation of postgres 8.X's pg_hba.conf file.
Your postgres server configuration seems correct
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5host all all 192.168.0.1/32 trust
That should grant access from the client to the postgres server. So that leads me to believe the username / password is whats failing.Test this by creating a specific user for that database
createuser -a -d -W -U postgres chaosuser
Then adjust your perl script to use the newly created user
my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:PgPP:database=chaosLRdb;host=192.168.0.1;port=5433", "chaosuser", "chaos123");
