Thread: build for none standard socket

I have searched and Googled but can't find how to do a ./configure to
use a different socket than /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432. It says in the manual
that it can be done but then does not say how.
Anyone done this before?
Regards
Garry

Hi!

You can at least configure the socket directory, the socket group and the
socket permissions in your postgresql.conf.

Greetings,
Matthias

See DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR in src/include/pg_config_manual.h
