Well in a previous post you indicated your connection strings for the PHP code
where:
$dbh = pg_connect("host=/tmp/ dbname=test_tool port=5495 user=apache
password=apache connect_timeout=20");
// $dbh = pg_connect("host=localhost port=5495 dbname=test_tool");
// $options = " host='localhost' port='5495' user='gls' password=''
dbname='test_tool' ";
The above would not work if you are trying to connect to a remote server. The
first tries to connect to a local socket and the other two are attempts to
connect to localhost. Your host would need to be the hostname(ip address) of
the host that the Postgres server is running on.

This would seem to indicate what the HINT says, that another Postgres server is
running.
