Re: Can't Get PHP Going on PostgreSQL

Your php install doesn't know about (or can't find) the postgresql
extension. Default installs don't usually include postgresql support I
think.

run this command

ldd /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so

where the second parameter is the location of your php module for apache.

This will list the shared object files that php needs. If you don't see a
line like this

libpq.so.3 => /usr/lib/libpq.so.3 (0x4001b000)

then php was not compiled to include postgresql.
