This is incorrect. The ADODB error message indicates that you are connecting to localhost via TCP/IP. The default for psql when you don't specify a host is to connect via unix domain socket. You're not testing the same thing. See if psql -h localhost cms works. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com http://people.collaborativefusion.com/~wmoran/
