Your using a 7.2.x database or 7.3.x?
The file segments you have shown look like the 7.2.x format but the
error message looks like something you would get out of a 7.3.x database
(7.3.x added a user portion).
If 7.3.x, try:
# TYPE DATABASE USER IP-ADDRESS IP-MASK METHOD
host gforge gforge 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trust
If 7.2.x, did you HUP or restart the server after making changes to the
file?
