Hello, Thanks a lot! I did noticed "-i" option. I am using 8.0 whose manual (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/app-postmaster.html) states that "-i" option is deprecated. The manual (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/runtime-config.html#RUNTIME-CONFIG-CONNECTION) also says that I can enable "listen_addresses" option in the postgresql.conf to enable the server to listen over TCP/IP. What really puzzles me is that I could actually telnet server at 5432 ports and saw an corresponding entry in the log file; however, when I used PHP to connect the server, the log file did not have an entry for the failed connection attempt at all. Do you think what can go wrong? Thanks!
