Re: Not able to connect to server from PHP

When I connect I don't like to use the user name attribute. You might also
want to try the port attribute.

Try something like this:

$conn =pg_connect("host=localhost port=5432 dbname=personnel") or die
("unable to connect to Internal DB");

I'm working on a personnel database for my department. I can connect
just fine using 'psql personnel'. I've created a PHP script to get a
list of departments, but I'm getting the following error message:

Warning: Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: Peer authentication
failed for user 'jeff' in /var/www/personnel/departments.php on line 10
Unable to connect to database.

Here's my script:
<?php
//
// Display Departments
//
// departments.php, v 1.0

include ($DOCUMENT_ROOT.'/personnel/include/functions.inc');

$conn = pg_pconnect("dbname=personnel user=jeff");
if (!$conn) {
echo "Unable to connect to database.";
exit;
}

Everything is running locally right now, Apache, PHP, PostgreSQL. I
never modified my pg_hba.conf file. Everything looks identical as my
system at home. I'm running PostgreSQL 7.1.3 and PHP 4.1.1.
