  1. pg_hba.conf problem

    JWDougherty <jwdougherty@mcihispeed.net> — 2004-02-20T03:07:10Z

    I have run into a problem with the vanilla pg_hba.conf with 7.34.  While most 
    normal local operations work as they ought, I found that when attempting use 
    postgresqs from GRASS that an error was returned due to a problem with the 
    pg_hba.conf file.  The error message is:
    
    LOG:  parse_hba: invalid syntax in pg_hba.conf file at line 45, token "TYPE"
    FATAL:  Missing or erroneous pg_hba.conf file, see postmaster log for details
    
    The problem is that line 45 reads as follows:
    
    # TYPE  DATABASE    USER        IP-ADDRESS        IP-MASK           METHOD
    
    It seems to be a comment describing the datastructure that follows it.  This 
    is the basic pg_hba.conf that is created when initdb is run and has not been 
    modified in any way.  
    
    I am running grass on the same system that I am running postgresql on and 
    there are no networking issues that I need to resolve, or at least I don't 
    think so.

    My guess is that something is messed up in the file, such as a wrong line 
    break character.   Take a look at it in a good text editor, such as eMacs or 
    Vi or Kate.
    
    Failing that, post the whole bottom section of the file.

  3. HTML email

    Derrick Betts <derrick@grifflink.com> — 2004-02-20T22:02:28Z

    Does anyone know of a function that I can use to send HTML formatted email
    from the database?  Actually I currently use pgMail, but I cannot get it to
    send HTML formatted email.
    
    Thanks,
    Derrick

    Derrick Betts <derrick@grifflink.com> — 2004-02-20T22:48:06Z

    When I place the HTML tags in the body of the email, I just get the tags
    showing as text.  Is this what you meant?  I currently use a function to
    create the concatenate the HTML and variables together, and then I pass that
    string as the body of the email, but it is delivered as text.
    
    Is there anything I should do that I am missing?
    
    Thanks,
    Derrick

    pgMail can handle this just format the text by conactinating text and 
    HTML tag in a simple pgsql function.
    If you want more help just pass on the text you want to mail

    Read the standards as to what HTTP and HTML do?  For me (and
    emacs) HTTP/HTML can be strict.  If what you generate for an
    attachment is strict HTML, it should display in any browser.  Or,
    any browser which understands (or has HTML processing turned on).

    For me, there is NO html formatted email.  If you send HTML only,
    it is spam.  Include a text only version of what you send as the
    main body.

    Dear Derrick Betts

    Nop just add the things between the <code> </code> tags below to your 
    mail and see the trick
    <code>
    
    Content-type: text/html
    Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT
    
    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <title>email</title>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
    </code>
    
    Write it very HTML strict as some mail clients will not parse it good 
    enough.
    Shoot back if this worked

    I've been trying to think of an explanation for this, but it's hard to
    come up with one, if your pg_hba.conf is indeed factory-stock.  Did you
    build PG from source, or is it from somebody's RPM distribution?  (Some
    distributions supply modified pg_hba files.)  For that matter, what
    platform is this on anyway?
