Dear all, I'm running into a problem I just can't seem to get fixed. I've searched a long time for this already but haven't found anything that comes close to what I'm seeing. I'm trying to connect (and later use) a postgres database through php, using PDO. The webserver is a recently set up server solely for testing, there is a production server in place where everything works just fine. The web server (test): (from phpinfo) Linux hostname.domainname 2.6.25.11-97.fc9.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jul 21 01:09:10 EDT 2008 x86_64 Apache 2.0 PHP API 20041225 PHP Extension 20060613 PDO support enabled PDO drivers pgsql, sqlite PDO Driver for PostgreSQL enabled PostgreSQL(libpq) Version 8.3.1 Module version 1.0.2 Revision $Id: pdo_pgsql.c,v 1.7.2.11.2.1 2007/01/01 09:36:05 sebastian Exp $ The working production server is running on 32 bit, and the database server is running fc9 x86_64 with postgres 8.3.5 The error I keep getting: Connection failed to:pgsql:host=hostname.domainname port=5432;dbname=bla user=username password=secret SQLSTATE[08006] [7] could not connect to server: Permission denied\n\tIs the server running on host "hostname.domainname" and accepting\n\tTCP/IP connections on port 5432? I can use psql to connect to this database and from what I've seen I'm suspecting something wrong with pdo/pdo_pgsql or some config setting I overlooked somewhere in apache/php. Running tcpdump shows that nothing is even going out when trying the php PDO connection. Anything that can set me in the correct direction is greatly appreciated. kind regards, Maarten -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
