Please CC me.

When I connect to a database from PHP script called from the web via Apache, running on the same machine as the DB, that's server name "localhost", right?

I can't seem to get a php script to connect with the same parameters that I can use using telnet and 'psql'.

You probably need to modify your postgresql.conf file to allow TCP
socket connections and also modify the pg_hba.conf file to permit users
from other IP addresses to connect.
