Im running apache2, php4.3.1 on win32 and everything is dandy apart from the
fact that pg_connect won't connect to a server which requires encrypted
passwords.
I get:
Warning: pg_connect() [function.pg-connect]: Unable to connect to PostgreSQL
server: FATAL 1: Password authentication failed for u

Exactly. On this
You can use a static salt from within your application though.
