[Duraspace] PostgresSQL error

[Bravismore Mumanyi]

Thanks Hilton. 
 
That did the trick to resolve the postgres error. I am only running into problems with "update-java-alternatives -s java-6-openjdk". when I run the command
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for mozilla-javaplugin.so.
update-java-alternatives: plugin alternative does not exist: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so
 
Should I just ignore this?
 
Regards

Hi Bravismore

Change the ident's to md5's.
I am not sure what ident auth is.

Cheers

Hi Hilton,
 
I do hope I find you well.
 
I am having the following error the moment I try to go to the postgres prompt "psql -U postgres". If I change ident to trust method, everything works but am not prompted for a password pausing a security risk.
 
Do you know of any workaround for this?
 
psql: FATAL:  Ident authentication failed for user "postgres"
