Hi,
You might want to add a note for the following page under PostgreSQL:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/databases/
I'm running PostgreSQL 9.1 locally, and found that Django was unable to
connect to the database when the 'HOST' value was left as an empty string,
resulting in the following error when running `python manage.py syncdb`:
{{{
psycopg2.OperationalError: FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user
}}}
After some searching, I found the following solution on StackOverflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/a/8232004/733402
Setting it to `localhost` rather than an empty string (as suggested by the
inline comments in the config file) fixed the issue. You might want to
consider adding this to the documentation so that other users can more
easily work around the same issue.
Cheers!
