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
forgottento 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.

thatpostgresql is not listening on that port for 127.0.0.1.
