connect() failed: No route to host

I get this error message:
Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server:
Warning: Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: connectDBStart()
-- connect() failed: No route to host
Is the postmaster running (with -i) at '127.0.0.1' and accepting
connections on TCP/IP port '5432'?
in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/quote.php on line 21

With this query
$conn = pg_Connect("host=127.0.0.1 port=5432 user=web password=web dbname=cast");
if (!$conn) {
echo "An error occured connectin to the data base.";
exit;
}
$sql="SELECT * FROM quote;";
$result_set=pg_Exec($conn, "$sql");

I do have a PG user with id=web password=web and a database named cast
with 5
rows, and have tried host=192.168.1.1; host=asa.my.domain;
user=postgres; etc.

PG v 7.03
php v 4.0.3pl1
apache v 1.3.14
Freebsd 4.2

I did configure php statically with: --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql
yet phpinfo() only shows (and for two days ago):
'./configure' '--with-apache=../apache_1.3.14'
And there is a table titled pgsql showing
pgsql.allow_persistent on on

Apache table
Hostname:Port 127.0.0.1:80
Apache Environment table
HTTP_HOST 192.168.1.1
HTTP_REFERER http://192.168.1.1/
REMOTE_ADDR 192.168.1.1
SERVER_ADDR 192.168.1.1
SERVER_NAME 127.0.0.1

Environment table shows:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/pgsql/lib
HOST asa.my.domain

In fact I have removed all php and apache files I could find and reinstalled
from tar files multiple times.

ifconfig

Thanks for any suggestions!
