Dear All,
I have reached to the point where I have to create the "wifidog-auth"
database on my Fedora Core 4 machine as described in the "INSTALL" file in
the source directory of "wifidog-auth". Unfortunately I getting this error:
(psql: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "wifidog")
Here are the steps that I have done so far for creating the database and as
illustrated in the "INSTALL" file:
-Create the user wifidog (both in postgres and on your system).
[root at amg ~]# adduser wifidog
[root at amg ~]# su - postgres
-bash-3.00$ createuser -a -d -e wifidog
-bash-3.00$ psql -d template1 -U wifidog -W -f
/root/wifidog-auth/sql/wifidog-postgres-schema.sql
Password: ## Here I just pressed enter because there is no password
supplied when I created the wifidog
After the password step I got this error: (psql: FATAL: Ident
authentication failed for user "wifidog")
I tried to use the same command without the -W switch to avoid prompting me
for a password, but again I got the same problem.
Would you please help and direct me on how to avoid this problem. I am will
be thankful for your help.
