I have some issue in running pgadmin3 and connecting musicbrainz server in the Windows 7. I am looking for some helps from here.

I installed virtual box and could access musicbrainz database in Ubuntu. However, I was looking for GUI so I also installed pgadmin3 in Windows 7.

Using pgadmin, when I connect to localhost(port 5432), it says:
FATAL: role “musicbrainz” does not exist

If I connect to port 2222, it says:
SSL error: unknown protocol expected authentication request from server, but received S

I think I have set postgresql.conf & pg_hba.conf properly because when I did the every same thing in the Mac OS X, I could access munsicbrainz_db using pgadmin, which is installed in Mac OS X.

Can you share how I can address error - FATAL: role “musicbrainz” does not exist?

My current NAT setting in Virtual box are following:

I don’t have an answer to your question, but feel like you could help me with my problem. I have been trying to access the database on my Mac with a GUI, but failed so far. You mention that you made it work on your Mac. Could you maybe guide me through the steps you took to make it work? Thanks.
