Hi Richard, I noticed that your bug got reassigned to the adodb package, and as I use it too I thought I'd take a crack at fixing it.
I think the problem is that you're not using the correct method for conecting to a postgresql database over a socket. If you use the dsn method you were using, then there's no way to specify the name of the socket (the triple slash method only works for file:///, and I don't think adodb supports that). To use sockets, I think the only way to do it is to use a standard PostgreSQL connection string, as described here: http://phplens.com/lens/adodb/docs-adodb.htm#connect Note the one line reference to PostgreSQL. So, you need to use the connection string specified here: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/libpq.html#LIBPQ-CONNECT and, as they say, use the host parameter starting with a slash to specify the socket directory. The following example worked fine for me: $conn = &ADONewConnection('postgres'); $conn->Connect("host=/var/run/postgresql dbname=testdb user=myuser password=mypass"); It looks like this isn't a bug, but I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to do, as I don't use Postgre much. Let me know if this solves the problem. Cameron Dale
