Ok, I tried this and this is the error message I get now:

Warning: Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: FATAL 1: user
"www-data" does not exist in /var/www/personnel/include/database.inc on
line 9
Could not connect to database.

www-data is the user and group for apache. I don't know what to make of
this.

Here's my database.inc file:

<?php
//
// database.inc
//
// Database Information

$dbname = "personnel";

$conn = pg_pconnect("host=localhost port=5432 dbname=$dbname");
if (!$conn) {
echo "Could not connect to database.";
exit;
}
?>
