According to your error message, your client/frontend is trying to connect using ssl and your
postgresql server is not accepting it.  Also, could could configure the 127.0.0.1/32 connections
as local instead of host.  This way you will be connected throught Unix-domain sockets rather than
tcp/ip ports and you will not need SSL support for local connections anyway.

However, according the postgresql manual, for a pg server to accept ssl connections the server
must be build with support for SSL and its pg_hba.conf file must be configured properly.

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/auth-pg-hba-conf.html

hostssl
This record matches connection attempts made using TCP/IP, but only when the connection is made
with SSL encryption.

To make use of this option the server must be built with SSL support. Furthermore, SSL must be
enabled at server start time by setting the ssl configuration parameter (see Section 16.7 for more
information).
