Re: A local replication entry

I thought you might be correct, Tom, but I double-checked the postgresql.conf file and listen_addresses = "*". I had forgotten to look to see if netstat reported:

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5432 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

But even with that established, the pg_basebackup using:

/usr/pgsql-9.3/bin/pg_basebackup -D - -h 127.0.0.1 -Ft -z -c fast -l hourly.backup > backup_file.gz or
/usr/pgsql-9.3/bin/pg_basebackup -D - -h 127.0.0.1 -U postgres -Ft -z -c fast -l hourly.backup > backup_file.gz

are still failing with:

pg_basebackup: could not connect to server: FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for replication connection from host "127.0.0.1", user "postgres", SSL off

The line from the pg_hba.conf file currently reads:

host replication postgres 127.0.0.1/32 trust

I really don't see where the problem is, and I know I've done a reload after every change in the pg-hba.conf.
