This isn't a bug. It's just a matter of configuring postgres to allow connections via the 'local' connection (by default, it uses only 'host' connections, which requires specifying a hostname). We can't cover all the subtlties of postgreSQL configuration in the Django manual. So have a read of the postgreSQL documentation for how to change this. Essentially, if you can run "psql foo" where "foo" is an existing database on your local machine, you're all set. If you have do "psql -h localhost foo", then you need to also specify DATABASE_HOST.
