The PORT in the datasource parameter is the port number postmaster is listening to. In the default case that's 5432. The variables weren't defined, since you could have a large web site pulling data from multiple database servers, on multiple postmasters (ports), and multiple database names. That _used_ to be in the documentation -- but it's been a long time since I've looked (a long time in this instance means five years or more, since I last needed that information in 1997 for AOLserver 2.2.1). I can, however, put that information (along with much needed general updates) in the README file in the nspostgres distribution. -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11 -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list: http://www.aolserver.com/listserv.html List information and options: http://listserv.aol.com/
