Hi,

Going through the ‘esoteric’ docs for postgres, it says that to use the DB instead of the USERS local file system, you have to run this command:
pguser=“hostaddr = 129.22.22.24 port = 5432 user = postgres password = somepassword “

with your particular host credentials… sorry but I don’t understand where and when exactly do I need to run this command, is this sent as an argument to the ChatScriptpg?

Thanks

command line argument launching CS

OK, thanks Bruce, sorry for not seeing something that might be so obvious, this is what I’m doing over terminal:

./ChatScriptpg pguser=“hostaddr = 127.0.0.1 port = 5432 user = postgres password = xxxxxx“

I can’t see any new db created so I assume I’m not providing the args right. Could you give me an example of how to do it?

Your parameters look fine. So how do you know you have a running server? Do you have tools you use to browse it?

Yeah, I’m using pgAdmin3.
I’m connected with the postgres user and have another test db created along with the postgres one.

Should I be able to see a log somewhere if connection falied?

When CS starts up, it issues messages about what it loads and what abilities it has. you should see messages in server log about this:
Either this:
Postgres enabled. FileSystem routed to %s\r\n”,postgresparams);
or this
Postgres enabled.\r\n”);

Hi,

This is the last output to the logs file:

Is the Postgres enabled. FileSystem routed to “hostaddr part correct?

I have Postgres listening on 127.0.0.1:5432, but still there’s no users database created

The server without pg is working, I tested the chat with the php script included in the project.
The pg version is broken for some reason, there’s a bug log with this:

I’m thinking that my connection string is fine and there’s a problem in the internal connect code.

Hello, Bruce.
Is it possible for you to check the ChatScriptpg version using the database as file server?
I’m not seeing any other places on my side to look for, also you can give me some hints on where in the CS source are the pg interactions, and I can try to debug myself.

Thanks.

It works for me, but MY initial startup message is good and yours is bad.
Mine says: Postgres enabled. Filesystem routed to hostaddr 127.0.0.1 port = 5432 user = postgres password = xxxxx
Yours doesnt say that, so something is wrong with your params.

Your commands are this: 
pguser=“hostaddr = 127.0.0.1 port = 5432 user = postgres password = xxx“

mine are:
pguser=“hostaddr = 127.0.0.1 port = 5432 user = postgres password = xxxx ”

Offhand, it looks like your quotes are no good, and should be simple quotes. Hard to prove, except your startup message is bad. it doesn’t echo what you said.  I’m using 7.01 for this.

bad quotes…
I think I got them like that from the pdf doc when copying the command string and never noticed they weren’t straight quotes,
the pg db is working OK.
Thanks.
