|     LedgerSMB/User.pm:199: FATAL: database "host=localhost" does not exist


On #ledgersmb IRC channel today:

<goo>   I am trying to get ledgersmb 1.2 up and running, but I am only
        greeted with LedgerSMB/User.pm:199: FATAL: database "host=localhost"
        does not exist upon logon. Any ideas?

<goo>   nevermind. 

<DHR>   goo: what was the solution to your FATAL problem?

<goo>   DHR: I was being stupid, tried logging in directly with admin
        instead of creating a database, running Pg-database.sql on it
        and then go to admin.pl and attach a user to that database
        instance.

<goo>   got it up and working now

<DHR>   I ask because I got that message too (I mention this at the end
        of a post to the dev list I made this morning)

<goo>   DHR: ok.  The problem is that the algorithm that makes the
        database connection string in User.pm does no error checking
        what so ever and just makes a connection string that is doomed
        to fail. The easy fix is not add parameters that are empty to
        the connection string

<goo>   or give them sensible defaults, at least.
