DB Port Change: Possible?

[genesis]

I have a desire to use an aggregator for Postgres called "pgpool"; this requires that I change the connection port for Seredipity from its standard.

The change is transparent to the application other than the need for a custom port number.

I don't see a port field in the configuration area, however.

Is there a way to specify this, do I need to do it by hand, and if the latter, where would that be in the configuration files?

Thanks in advance!

Hi!

Usually you should be able to simply specify something like "localhost:4711" into the hostname, so that you can append the portnumber there.

Nope; in serendipity_config_local.inc.php I have:

$serendipity['dbHost'] = 'genesis.denninger.net:55432';

and what I get back is:

Warning: pg_connect() [function.pg-connect]: Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: could not translate host name "genesis.denninger.net:55432" to address: hostname nor servname provided, or not known in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/market-ticker/include/db/postgres.inc.php on line 64
serendipity error: unable to connect to database - exiting.

Hi!

Have you tried the PDO-PostgreSQL layer instead, maybe?

Also, using "genesis.denninger.net port=55432" might work.

(I'm not experience with PSQL, so I only speak with mysql knowledge, sorry)

Got it - "genesis.denninger.net port=55432" worked.
