This error message comes from the server: "FATAL: missing or erroneous
pg_hba.conf file" .
You should probably consider what the error message says: the server
either cannot find the pg_hba.conf file or the file is erroneous.

For further questions turn to  pgsql.admin (pgsql-admin@postgresql.org)
or  pgsql.general (pgsql-general@postgresql.org)
