Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: pg

Well, here is the code fragment from the postgres driver. If it's a bug it's an intentional one.

 if (!strcmp(host, "localhost")) {
            Ns_Log(Notice, "Opening %s on %s", db, host);
            pgConn = PQsetdbLogin(NULL, port, NULL, NULL, db, handle->user,
                                  handle->password);
        } else {
            Ns_Log(Notice, "Opening %s on %s, port %s", db, host, port);
            pgConn = PQsetdbLogin(host, port, NULL, NULL, db, handle->user,
                             handle->password);
        }

Maybe if we are connection because we have "localhost" we should try 127.0.0.1 if the unix domain socket fails.

I will ping Lamar Owen and see what he thinks...
