Re: [General] Warning: Unable to connect to PostgreSQL

looks like php/apache doesn't know which computer is "maloyportalen".
You might want to add a host file entry mapping this name to an ip.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Perhaps that should be
www.maloyportalen.no
?

In any case, "unknown host name" does not suggest any problem that
changing pg_hba.conf might solve; you're failing even to reach the
database server.
