Thread: Re: [GENERAL] Compilation fails --with-ssl on Solaris 8

Hi Arcady,

This problem occurs with some versions of OpenSSL on Solaris and
Unixware.

There's an installation guide for PostgreSQL 7.1.1 on Solaris 7/8, and
includes the fix needed for getting SSL to work in your scenario.  The
installation guide is at :

http://techdocs.postgresql.org/installguides.php#solaris

Hope that's helpful.

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift

I asked this in -general about ten days ago, but received no replies.

Can I redefine location of the UNIX domain socket file to be other
than /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432?  The problem is that there is a /tmp cleaning
script on the Solaris system where Postgres is installed, which sweeps
away anything older than 24 hours.  Right now I'm getting away by
having a cron job touch the file periodically, but this is not a nice
solution.

p.s.  I'm sending this also to -bugs, because I think that the
location of the socket file should be configurable (at least at
compile time).

Many thanks,

Yes, it can be done. For example, the debian package moves it to /var/run
iirc. However, to make this work you need to patch the postmaster to put it
in a different place and patch the libpq to look for it in the new place. So
it will need a recompile at least.

Maybe it already is a #define. The debian patch should be available from the
debian website.
