db connection problem

From

Date:
I have a cgi script written in C++ and compiled with libpq++. The script attempts to connect to a postgresql database
butfails, although I can connect to the database on the command line. I'm wondering if there is an error log somewhere
thatI can access that would give me more information about the problem.

Thanks,

See if you can find out if the db is logging errors to a file or just
dumping things to standard out. It's pretty dependent on how your db is
started, but check if ps -ax shows anything like pg_ctl -l myfile or
postmaster > myfile. You might also want to check your postgresql.conf
file to see your debug setting and/or if syslog is turned on.
