From: "Brian Gallew" To: X-Priority: 3 Importance: Normal X-MSMail-Priority: Normal MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit I've got a Python-language CGI that is trying to connect to a PostgreSQL database. Unfortunately, it keeps yielding this traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/www/htdocs/index.py", line 9, in ? conn = pgdb.connect(host=None,database='software') File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/pgdb.py", line 376, in connect user = dbuser, passwd = dbpasswd) _pg.error: could not create socket: Operation not permitted [Tue Jul 2 07:31:43 2002] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Premature end of script headers: /var/www/htdocs/index.py Here's my setup info: Windows XP CYGWIN=binmode tty ntsec codepage:oem Apache, Python and PostgreSQL all installed from the latest Cygwin packages (update my installations pretty much every day). PostgreSQL is configured to run under userid "geek". Apache is configured to run under userid "services". I've made sure that / is mode 555 and /tmp is mode 1777. If I run an rxvt as the user "services" I can use psql to access the database just fine. I can even run the cgi successfully from such a login. I've tried googling for this error and all I get is references to various bits of source code (not so helpful). Frankly, I'm stumped. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
