Thanks, but I have these changes in and it still will not connect:
file: pg_hba.conf:
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 ident sameuser
postgrsql.conf:
listen_addresses = 'localhost'
port = 5432
It is my understanding that the current version 8.1+ now uses the
generalized 'listen_addresses' in postgresql.conf instead of any tcp* =
'true' statements in this file.
I also am assuming that the postgresql.conf file being read is that in
the /var/lib/pgsql/data directory.
I am connecting to localhost, need to make sure I can configure for
tcpip, and am trying to login as a local user with a user account on the
machine.
Other ideas? I am not having much luck finding more in the docs.
TIA

So, you want it to run through TCP/IP, then you need to add the
host=localhost and port=5432 items to your pg_connect string
$db = pg_connect('dbname=bpsimple user=minitwr password=RWHart') ;
becomes:
$db = pg_connect('host=localhost port=5432 dbname=bpsimple
user=minitwr password=RWHart') ;
