<pre wrap="">"Why are you trying to change the database host in the first place?"
The reasons is because I was in the process of trying to rewrite and hopefully improve some of the documentation associated with wifidog. We are a startup group. I spent several years in technical writing, and one of the first things that I learned was to only write about things that you undersand otherwise you confuse yourself and others.
I have spend more than enough hours writing and rewriting some of the documents that I thought were worthwhile spending time on. Obviously the documents are self explanatory so the trouble understanding must be at my end. I will pass the message to our group.
I apologize for posting such a stupid question on the board. I still do not understand, but I guess that only proves the response.
Is thee a way that I can withdraw the Trouble Tickets that I posted?

Perhaps this is a setting that I failed to change in previous steps, if
so, could someone please direct me to this error, or setting location.
Tried to add a screen shot, but it made the file size too big for the

Well, you added a bug about it: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://dev.wifidog.org/ticket/356">http://dev.wifidog.org/ticket/356</a>
I don't understand what the problem is, or what you were expecting, the error
is self explanatory: captiveserver doesn't resolve. You haven't added
captiveserver to you DNS or host file.
Why are you trying to change the database host in the first place? The only
reason to do so is if you want to run the postgresql server on a separate
machine.
