Thread: libpq++ question

Hi,

I try to access postgres through a CGI program using libpq++. If I mimic a
query by setting the REQUEST_METHOD and QUERY_STRING environment variables it
works perfectly well. However, accessed through the net, connection is
refused. Probably the environment settings in PgEnv(...) are wrong. Can
anybody help? BTW, the returned error message, called as in the examples by
data.ErrorMessage(), is empty.

Cheers, Andreas

please cc any answers to Andreas.Hauck@earthling.net

You probably haven't configured your postgresql server to allow accesses
by the user your web-server is running as(CREATE USER). Also make sure
that that user has the appropriate access rights to the tables it needs to
access (GRANT/REVOKE)
