Hello all,
I'm trying to access my Postgres data base in perl Using DBI->connect
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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"?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few important things to note:
1) I've checked the permissions on both the /tmp directory and the socket file, and both are 777 (wide open)
2) I am able to access the database from php using pg_connect
3) I can access Postgres with DBI->connect when I run the perl script from the command line, it's when
I try to access Postgres from the perl CGI in a web application that I get this message
4) I have the following in my pg_hba.conf file:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
local all all md5
host all all
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 md5
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think this should allow anyone to access any database from any ip address using md5 -- correct me if I'm wrong.
5) I added apache to the appropriate group to make sure apache has permission to the proper files
I have changed every permission I can think of, short of chmod 777 -R /
I'm about out of ideas.
I don't think it is a version incompatibility since everything works fine from the command line, but just in case here are the versions
Postgres: 4.7.4
Perl 5.8.5
Thank you for your consideration,
RYan Miller
