let me guess you edited the pg_hba.conf inside /usr/share/pgsql ? or the one
located in /usr/local/pgsq If you did edit pg_hba.conf file from one of
those location then you need to execute
pg_ctl reload
to have pgsql copy hba file in data directory. or you can simply edit
/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf . pgsql reads the file that is inside the
data directory. Also you shouldn't just copy install.php and index.php from
newer version. You should copy all files and folder from newer version. I
tested this on my server. When you just replace newer version of index.phpand
install.php, you get blank page. One more thing i mentioned this in earlier
post to enable error display inside php.ini so you can debug your problem.
