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
