tcpip_socket=false and psql is working?

[t***@euskalnet.net]

Hi all,

I have compiled 7.4.1 on Debian Woody and found psql is working even if
tcpip_socket is set to false in postgresql.conf

Does anybody know about this or am I on LSD

Thanks,

Roman

Sure, it uses unix domain sockets.

Working on the same box? It's probably using UNIX domain sockets.
Try psql -h 127.0.0.1; if that works, you have a problem.
