Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=42398&edit=1 ID: 42398 Updated by: yohgaki@php.net Reported by: webmaster at touchingvirus dot net Summary: pg_(p)connect produces uninformative error messages -Status: Assigned +Status: Wont fix Type: Feature/Change Request Package: PostgreSQL related Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 5.2.3 Assigned To: yohgaki Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: This is because PostgreSQL library set these uninformative error message. php > $db = pg_connect('host=192.168.100.50 user=postgres password=dummy'); Warning: pg_connect(): Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host "192.168.100.50" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? in php shell code on line 1 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-23 13:45:39] webmaster at touchingvirus dot net Description: ------------ When connecting to a pgSQL server (I use 8.2) with a wrong username, password or port in the connection string, the error given is really uninformative to the user and actually suggests a problem with the postgreSQL server: "Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request." The server didn't terminate & the connection was refused/aborted Expected result: ---------------- To be honest, I expected an error that was similar to that of mySQL - though I know that is because mySQL actually produces good error messages =) e.g. Access denied for: root@localhost (Using Password: YES) The psql binary errors with the expect errors like: psql: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "root" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=42398&edit=1
