Thanks for the suggestion Jovan. It turned out to be a SELinux permissions issue that only affected apache processes.

are you sure it's not some kind of firewall issue?

can you post your pg_hba conf to make sure it's set up properly?

Only other thing i can think of is to try changing the host to IP address form, in case there's some kind of DNS resolution problem.

hope that helps,

    Hello All,

    I'm using php 5.1.6 on a RHEL 5 system connecting to a postgresql
    server
    version 8.2.3.   I think that TCP connections are enabled correctly in
    the server's pg_hba.conf and I can successfully connect from the
    client
    using pgsql.  However, trying to use pg_connect() w/ a call like:

    $con = pg_connect("host='postgres1.ngdc.noaa.gov
    <http://postgres1.ngdc.noaa.gov>' port=5432
    sslmode='allow' user='test' password='mypassword' dbname='test'")


    fails saying:

      Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: could not connect to server:
    Permission denied\n\tIs the server running on host
    &quot;postgres1.ngdc.noaa.gov&quot; and accepting\n\tTCP/IP
    connections
    on port 5432?

    I'm perplexed since I can connect w/ pgsql from the same workstation
    using the same database, user, password.

    Can anyone help me out here?

    Thanks!
