You could set up a user ~/.postgresqlrc file or a system wide /etc/postgresql−common/user_clusters where " /etc/postgresql−common/user_clusters stores the default cluster and database for users and groups as set by the administrators. " In either case I am not sure the above will help with you PHP problem. The cluster option seems to be specific the pg_wrapper program and lives a layer above that which PHP is using to connect. The PHP issue may solved however by using a service file: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/interactive/libpq-pgservice.html Basically a way to group connection parameters for a particular server. The other way would be to specify the connection parameters directly in the connection string and not using the --cluster option. In your case that would probably be just a matter of naming different ports for the 8.4 and 9.1 databases respectively. > > Dave. -- Adrian Klaver adrian.klaver@xxxxxxxxx -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
