I've checked php-info, and the Postgresql extension is there (pg_connect() is not undefined). I am also able to connect to postgresql using psql on localhost (I've edited my pg_hba.conf file appropriately). Here is the code that's not working:
<?php
$dbconn = pg_connect("host=localhost port=5432 dbname=mydb user=myuser password=mypass") or die('Could not connect: ' . pg_last_error());
?>
This code simply results in "Could not connect: " being displayed in the browser.
I checked my apache log, and here's the relevant error message:
PHP Warning: pg_connect() [<a href='function.pg-connect'>function.pg-connect</a>]:
Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: could not connect to server: Permission
denied\n\tIs the server running on host "localhost" and accepting\n\tTCP/IP
connections on port 5432?
How can I fix/debug this?
Edit: I'm on Centos 5.4 btw.
