Hello, I'm having problems connecting to my Postgres database using DBI::connect in Perl.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DBI connect('dbname=visualizer','visualizer',...) failed: could not connect to server: Permission denied Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two important things to note: 1) The permissions on both the /tmp directory and the socket file are 777 (full access) 2) I can connect to the same database just fine using pg_connect in PHP
I just installed everything on a new server, and everything worked fine on the old one. I figure I missed some configuration detail somewhere. Any ideas?
Here are the versions I'm using: PostgreSQL 7.4.8 PHP 4.3.9 Perl 5.8.5 Don't remember which version of Redhat I have
Thanks in advance for your consideration, RYan Miller
