• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Postgresql connection problem

I recently had my very first customer that wanted a pgsql database (got it from the plesk addon) and everything looked good at first but the customer noticed that it was not possible to connect to the pgsql db from a php script (yes, php is compiled with --with-pgsql) but it worked fine from phppgadmin.

I did some tests myself and for some reason it works in php scripts with:

PHP:
pg_connect("host='' port=5432 dbname=$dbname user=$user password=$pass")

but not with:

PHP:
pg_connect("host=localhost port=5432 dbname=$dbname user=$user password=$pass")

Why is this? Is there something I need to change to get this to work with writing "localhost" since that is the most common usage.

Running freebsd and postgre 7.4.6
