Hello my pg_hab.conf has this entry: host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5 When I try to use PHP to connect to the Database I get "postgres password authentication failed for user ..." The PHP-code looks like global $dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass, $dbname, $use_pgsql, $dbconn; if ($use_pgsql) { $connect = "host=$dbhost user=$dbuser password=$dbpass dbname=$dbname"; echo $connect; if (!($dbconn = pg_connect($connect))) { open_page(); ErrSQL("Unable to connect to database."); } When I try to connect via psql -U user -h localhost -W database I can connect without error. I also use SSL connections, is this the problem? or in other words is there a way to connect php via (postgres) ssl? Regards, basti
