Re: Pg_hba not using local setting

I thought I may be confused.

I am using RH 7.1(apache) and perl.

Thanks,

Yes.

You need to set the webapp's database config to make it connect to an IP
address instead of using the Unix socket (which it does by default for
same-machine connections). I can't tell you how to do this because you
haven't said what language/app server you're using for the website.
