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(at)postgresql(dot)org)
or
pgsql.general (pgsql-general(at)postgresql(dot)org)
