Re: Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server via PHP

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The part of the php code for the connection is


$dbconn=pg_connect( "dbname=lumbribase host=localhost port=5432 user=postgres password=$PG_PASS" );
if ( ! $dbconn ) {
   echo "Error connecting to the database !<br> " ;
   printf("%s", pg_errormessage( $dbconn ) );
   exit(); }

This code works on zeldia http://zeldia.cap.ed.ac.uk/Lumbribase/search_id.php
but not on xyala http://xyala.cap.ed.ac.uk/Lumbribase/search_id.php

So it's something to do with the way xyala is set up. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious but what..?

It's not  a firewall issue because it persists when the iptabes are off.

What does "could not connect to server: Permission denied" mean? Have I done some something as root or me that I should have done as user postgres?

Thanks
