Studying at http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ version 3.2

Stucked in the end of 6.2.1 section with the following:

$ bundle exec rake db:test:prepare
rake aborted!
FATAL:  no pg_hba.conf entry for host "192.168.108.1", user "sample_user", database "postgres", SSL on
FATAL:  no pg_hba.conf entry for host "192.168.108.1", user "sample_user", database "postgres", SSL off

Tasks: TOP => db:test:load => db:test:purge

192.168.108.1 is my ip. Why is it looking for it, if I have another entry in database.yml?
User sample_user is owner of all databases and has CREATEDB on them.
I can successfuly connect to any database on 192.168.108.2 with psql from 192.168.108.1

How cat I overcome it, still using remote postgres?

    pg_hba.conf is a file on the PostgreSQL server to define which users are allowed to connect to which databases from which hosts using what authentication methods.

    http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/auth-pg-hba-conf.html

    So, that message is telling you that the server hasn’t been told to allow the connection you are attempting. You must either make a connection which PostgreSQL has been told to allow, or tell it to allow this one by updating the pg_hba.conf file.

    If you don’t have access to server, and whoever does has not chosen to grant you PostgreSQL connection rights, you can’t connect. That’s the nature of security.
