Just a few suggestions: You *might* get more information if you add an 'or die $!' to the end of the line that starts '$conn = Pg::connectdb'. If that connection fails, $conn won't even get instantiated, so there won't be anything in $conn->status or $conn->errorMessage. I would suggest using DBI and DBD::Pg, rather than the Pg driver. At least that's what I've used successfully. This probably isn't related to your current problem, but I would also strongly recommend upgrading to at least perl 5.6.1, if not the current stable 5.8.0. Version 5.6.1 contains several bugfixes and improvements to 5.6.0.

The problem: Perl script dies with no error message. Code snippet: $conn = Pg::connectdb("dbname=testdb host=localhost port=5432 user=postgres password=test"); print "status = ",$conn->status, "\n"; die $conn->errorMessage unless PGRES_CONNECTION_OK eq $conn->status; Code output: status = 0 Died at ./testscript.pl line 105. Other relevant information: - If I specify an incorrect database or username, I get appropriate error messages from postgres. - It doesn't matter whether I specify a correct or incorrect password; I get the same empty error. - "psql -U postgres -W testdb" works just fine. psql actually works perfect in every respect. I can connect, grab records, and do everything I should be able to do. - Postgres has been started correctly and netstat shows it listening on tcp port 5432. I accomplished this by changing tcpip_socket = true in postgresql.conf. - The machine running the script is the same machine running postgres. - pg_hba.conf is configured as follows: local all trust host all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trust host all 192.168.1.12 255.255.255.255 trust I added the server's remote IP in testing to see if it made a difference. It did not. Installation notes: - System is a Red Hat 7.2 box. - Postgres v7.2.3 was installed from RPMs yesterday. No prior version of Postgres has ever been installed on this server. - Perl version 5.6.0. - The Postgres Perl extensions were also installed from RPMs. They installed into /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386_linux. They didn't work from there, so I moved the files Pg.pm, Pg.so, and autosplit.ix to /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0 where my cgi-bin.pl resided. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)
