#9920: Empty string is not the same as typing "localhost" in DATABASE_HOST in settings.py ---------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: crazy2k | Owner: nobody Status: new | Milestone: Component: Uncategorized | Version: 1.0 Keywords: postgresql host localhost empty | Stage: Unreviewed Has_patch: 0 | ---------------------------------------------+------------------------------ I was reading Django's book (http://www.djangobook.com/). At Chapter 5, you start playing a little with the database server. I chose PostgreSQL, and I filled the settings accordingly. However, when I tried: {{{ >>> from django.db import connection >>> cursor = connection.cursor() }}}
(after running ''python manage.py shell'') I got an error. I had left the DATABASE_HOST setting blank in settings.py, because it says: DATABASE_HOST = '' # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3. I made it work by explictly adding "localhost" there. The version of Django I've installed is 1.0-1ubuntu1. -- Ticket URL: <http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/9920> Django <http://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
