SIM not running

[Stuart_45]

Hi;

Can anyone help with this problem:
When starting postgresql I get the error "postmaster does not start". The entry in the postgresql log file is: FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "[local]", user "postgres", database "template1", SSL off.

SIM is running on SuSE Enterprise 9.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I too am running SuSE/Novell enterprise 9 and have the exact same problem.

Anyone have any advice? I tried adding

host all all xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 255.255.255.255

to my pg_hba.conf file, and setting the tcpip_socket value to "true" in the postgresql.conf file to no avail...
