Hello proggers, I got a strange problem while creating a database FROM PHP: I connect from SuSE shell via php to a PG-server [7.3.2] using command $conn = @pg_pconnect("host=db port=5432 user=postgres dbname=template1"); [db is an Alias in /etc/hosts an points to 192.168.0.200] Then I create a database using command pg_exec($conn,"CREATE DATABASE dvl_ao_27_beta;"); All works fine! But when I connect using the IP-adress instead of the alias $conn = @pg_pconnect("host=192.168.0.200 port=5432 user=postgres dbname=template1"); the handle is valid as well, but then if I want to create the database I got the error ERROR: CREATE DATABASE: source database "template1" is being accessed by other users Does anybody have an idea what goes wrong in case I use the IP?
