Is the Web server/PHP app on the same machine as the Postgres server?
All programs about this question are installed on a single computer; the
intention is to test and learn first on a local machine.
If it is on the same machine what happens if you do?:
$dbconn = pg_connect("dbname=cpacweb user=cpaca") or die("Could not
connect");
Am happy to report that connection looks successful, because the php web page
now reports:
"
Connection status ok
"
That is just working around the problem, which is something is blocking
the TCP port 5432 on localhost. Generally speaking, that should not be
happening. You need to figure out what is doing this or you will
probably be facing more issues down the road. From what you have shown
it seems to be related to the Web application itself. I would try with
pg_connect("dbname=cpacweb user=cpaca host=localhost") and look at the
Web server logs.
Thank you all very much for the help. Hope that other novices benefit too! :)
