Summary: odbc via the local net (lan & Wan)

Initial Comment:
When you have installed the odbc driver local where the db also is installed, it does work.

When you have istalled the odbc driver local on a client machine, the connection failed - it is always looking for the
pg_hba.conffile.

Message:
OK, you are right, I've enabled verbose logging on the postgres server and when attempting to connect from psqlODBC I
gotthe answer. For further reference : the standard, default pg_hba.conf contains an IPv6 example on the second line,
"host- all - all - ::1/128 - md5". This line was "enabled" on my server and came second (the first line was "host - all
-all - 127.0.0.1/32 - md5" and was verified when connecting locally). This line caused a fatal server error "invalid IP
address::1". Once disabled, connecting from the LAN works fine

Message:
Yes, the error does come from the server. psqlODBC doesn't have any way to read the pg_hba.conf file - that is *always*
doneby the server, which will return the error shown if it cannot parse the file. 

If you believe I am incorrect, please feel free to check the source code and see for yourself.

Hi,

I have the same problem. The pg_hba.conf is NOT missing and does NOT contain an error : the server works fine AND
psqlODBCworks fine AS LONG AS I set the "Server" as 127.0.0.1 when defining a psqlODBC-based DSN. BUT ... when I
replace127.0.0.1 with 10.128.54.77 (IP address of the Postgres server ...) I get a "missing or erroneous pg_hba.conf".
Theerror is NOT reported by the server, it only appears when defining a DSN in odbcad32.exe

Message:
This error is being reported by the server because your pg_hba.conf file is missing or contains an error. This is not
apsqlodbc problem.
