Re: OBSD + PHP + Postgresql(chrooted)
I can't get postgresql to work with php with the chrooted environment. Error output? Logs, etc? Attempting to connect to the /var/www/tmp socket and seeing if that works? You're giving us OMG I have a problem!!! without giving us much of a chance to help. Hell, it's php, so are your programs calling mysql-specific functions to access the database? Or did they finally get rid of that piece of stupid?
