I am trying to connect to postgres database on my local machine
The connect strings reads
CONNECTION "dbname=castle user=dave password=foobar host=localhost
port=5432"
This gives an msPOSTGISLAyerOpen(): Query error, the reported error is
"unknown hostname: localhost"
Doing a nslookup on localhost gives the expected answer off 127.0.0.1
Using the value 127.0.0.1 instead of the string localhost, gives the
same error, but reporting the error unknown host name 127.0.0.1
A telnet session to localhost 5432 connects , therefore the database is
running on localhost, I am not having any problems resolving names.
A psql session to the database castle with the login dave and the
password foobar works correctly
SO why the error, any suggestions ?
Dave.
