The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 6171 Logged by: Robert Hopek Email address: rho...@getnetworks.com PostgreSQL version: 8.1.23 Operating system: CentOS/RHEL Description: Sockets Issue Details:
Why do you have the configuration option to change the pgsql socket (which we need to do for our jailed shell environment), but not have psql check the postgresql.conf file for the enablement of that location change so that psql would look there automatically? It seems very counter-productive. While psql, as well as functions in languages like PHP (pg_connect) allow for an override so that you could point it at the new location (when custom coding), existing software, such as phpPgAdmin, are stuck only looking in /tmp for it. We consider it a bug that the server supports a configuration option the clients do not inherently support by checking the configuration of the server. -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
