Description Martin Steigerwald 2012-05-02 11:12:59 UTC 
When I configure Akonadi to use an external PostgreSQL server it tries to connect to localhost and fails.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure externel PostgreSQL server with user and database.

postgres@somedbhost:~$ createuser --pwprompt akonadimartinsteigerwald
Enter password for new role: 
Enter it again: 
Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) n
Shall the new role be allowed to create databases? (y/n) n
Shall the new role be allowed to create more new roles? (y/n) n
postgres@somedbhost:~$ createdb akonadimartinsteigerwald -O akonadimartinsteigerwald


2. Configure Akonadi to use external database

ms@mango:~/.config/akonadi> cat akonadiserverrc
[%General]
Driver=QPSQL

[QPSQL]
Name=akonadimartinsteigerwald
Host=somedbhost.somedomain
User=akonadimartinsteigerwald
Password=[…]
StartServer=false
Options=

[Debug]
Tracer=null

3. akonadictl start
Actual Results:  
And I get - where 1.2.3.4 is the (changed) IP address of the localhost.

ms@mango:~/.config/akonadi#4> akonadictl start
Starting Akonadi Server...
   done.

"akonadiserver" crashed too often and will not be restarted! 

Expected Results:  
Akonadi PostgreSQL backends tries to connect to our db host either successfully or it fails and tells me why.

Akonadi on client - KDE is at KDE SC 4.7.4 except for KDEPIM which is still 4.4.5:

Comment 1 Christophe Marin 2012-05-02 12:40:16 UTC 
Sounds like a bad configuration of your external postgres server.

Check in pg_hba.conf.  "1.2.3.4" must be allowed to access the server
Comment 2 Martin Steigerwald 2012-05-02 13:01:38 UTC 
Thats it. I misunderstand the log output.

Its working now.
