Setup for Postgres

[fbaeuerle]

The setup with PostgreSQL is "kind of" broken.
owncloud does not allow an empty database host, if the field is left empty, the value will be replaced by "localhost". This is not a good thing, because empty host means "use unix socket" to Postgres.

I could fix the setup by editing the line 41 in private/setup/abstractdatabase.php

Indeed it is a big Problem if one does not want to setup postgres to listen on tcp connections.

I think a socket setting was added to MySQL recently, so the same could probably be done for Postgres.

I suggest renaming the issue title to be more specific about the unix socket support.

As per the documentation this is supported by passing the path to the Postgres socket directory

[strk]

Specifying "/var/run/postgresql" triggers an Internal Server Error here.
Note that the filename is stiill dependent on port, .s.PGSQL.5433 in my case.
Can it be the code hard-codes the socket name to the default port ?

Ok, /var/run/postgresql:5433 works
