my /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf is
# TYPE DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local all all peer
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 ident
host all all 192.168.1.0/24 ident
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::1/128 ident
# Allow replication connections from localhost, by a user with the
# replication privilege.
#local replication postgres peer
#host replication postgres 127.0.0.1/32 ident
#host replication postgres ::1/128 ident
my /etc/phpPgAdmin/config.inc.php
$conf['extra_login_security'] = false;
this is as far as I found how to make it work, but I do not how to do it
phpPgAdmin at fail log in tells me "Próba zalogowania nie powiodła się.", which probably is something like "Attemt to log in has failed"
localhost/phpMyAdmin works normally
Can I somehow get reason why I was not logged in? Wrong password, no server etc?
SOLUTION
I have gone easy way, reinstalled fedora and now everything works, but that is actually not a solution :P

Answer 1

Try this.
If this is your IP address range that is accessing your computer then change
host all all 192.168.1.0/24 ident
to this
host all all 192.168.1.0/24 trust
Reload Postgres after you change it. And see if you can login.
You may also need to enable networking by changing this in the postgres conf.
from
listen_addresses='localhost'
to
listen_addresses='*'
Also be sure you have granted all the appropriate priviliges to the user to be able to access that database or any databases your are wanting to manage.
Edit:
It might be an SELinux issue. You can temporarily turn off SELinux for testing by using this command.
setenforce 0
Then test the login and see if it works. If it does work that means selinux is preventing access, you should run this command to allow httpd to continue to work after reboot.
setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect_db 1
