I’ve got a small problem when installing RT-1-3-104 on a PostgreSQL
database.
Just installing PostgreSQL (no config), I couldn’t contact the database.
Fine. Find the config file, tell PostgreSQL to use tcpip sockets.
Now, when installing RT, it just hangs at “Creating Pg database for rt2.”,
right after asking me for the postgres user password. Has anyone come
across this?
Note: when I installed DBD:Pg, it wanted the user “pg”, and not “postgres”.
I played for a half hour trying to get it to use postgres, but couldn’t, so
just forced an install. Could this have caused a problem?
What version of postgres? Who built it? Are you sure it’s set up properly?
Postgres generally needs more care
and feeding than mysql. If you’re a DB newbie, mysql will likely be less
painful for you than postgres.On Tue, Jun 19, 2001 at 08:00:51PM -0400, Damian Gerow wrote:

I’ve re-installed postgres, (I built it), and I’m pretty sure it’s built
properly.
The error I’m getting is (on a ‘make install’):
Now creating a database for RT.
Enter the Pg password for postgres:
Creating Pg database rt2.
DBI->connect(dbname=template1;host=localhost) failed: connectDBStart() –
connect() failed: Connection refused at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/DBIx/DataSource/Driver.pm line 74
connectDBStart() – connect() failed: Connection refused at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/DBIx/DataSource/Driver.pm line 74,
line 1.
Which translates to:
my $dbh = DBI->connect( $new_dsn, $user, $pass ) or die $DBI::errstr;
in that file.
The error occurs in tools/initdb, in sub create_db, on line 197:
create_database( $dsn, $DB_DBA, $DB_DBA_PASSWORD ) or die
$DBIx::DataSource::errstr;
I know it’s a connection error, and I’m not using tcpip sockets, yet I’ve
got the Unix domain socket in /tmp (as per the default install). Do I need
to enable network access to the machine? Should I move the domain socket
somewhere else?
(And how exactly does perl know where to find the domain socket?)
If I recall correctly, DBD::Pg will always try TCP if host= is in the DSN.
if you leave it out, it should use unix sockets.On Wed, Jun 20, 2001 at 12:07:07PM -0400, Damian Gerow wrote:

I have images of Marc in well worn combat fatigues, covered in mud,
sweat and blood, knife in one hand and PSION int he other, being
restrained by several other people, screaming “Let me at it!
Just let me at it!” Eichin standing calmly by with something
automated, milspec, and likely recoilless.
