Re: Postgres v9.5.3 and v9.5.4 Unix Socket Issue

I get that it's a local connection, but the documentation says  that you should specify the directory path to that local connection in the host name parameter (at least) in the 9.5 version

Hi Robert,

 

This is local connection from the same server where cluster is running. I don’t need hostname unless it is a change in 9.5. The same syntax (without hostname) worked in earlier versions.

 

Thanks,

Murthy

psql (client rpm in 9.5) is not consistent with build default of 9.5 server rpm. Is that a possibility????

 

I suppose - but to verify it looks like your connection syntax is not really compatible with the socket style, docs say you should pass socket path with to the -h or --host - maybe pass your socket in as:

h hostname
--host=hostname

Specifies the host name of the machine on which the server is running. If the value begins with a slash, it is used as the directory for the Unix-domain socket.
