[PHP-DEV] Bug #178 Updated: Postgres suddenly stopped working (unsupported pg_connect) From: Bug Database (php-dev <email protected>)
Date: 05/15/98

ID: 178

Bug Type: PostgreSQL related

Comments:

I don't have an answer for you, but one thing to note is that if you use "localhost" then it
will use a TCP socket to connect to your backend server. If you just specify an empty string ""
then it will use a Unix domain socket and it should be faster and perhaps more reliable.

A lot of water went to lots of different places through
a lot of different rivers since beta 3.  There were quite
a few memory corrupting bugs that may have caused this
under some circumstances.  Since the bug is entirely
unreproduceable and only occured once after days and days
of uptime, I'm closing it now.
If the bug still occurs with a recent release,
please let us know.
