Re: Re: PostgreSQL error with PHP

Can you log into the PostgreSQL server from the console or command line?

This is the code and errors. This is starting to get old, I have been working on this for over a week now. CODE:

    <html><head><title>Login</title>

    </head>
    <body>
    <?php

$conn = "user=auth password=redhat dbname=auth host=localhost port=5432"; $dbconn = pg_connect($conn); echo "Connected Successfully";

    ?>
    </body>
    </html>

Error: Warning: pg_connect(): Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host "localhost" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? in /var/www/html/thomas/cis166ae/database/secretdb.php on line 11 Connected Successfully Thomas Thomas Bonham wrote:

I add the hostname and port, then I configure postgresql.conf and enable the port 5432 line in the config file.

The error is in your function pg_connect pg_connect("name=auth user=auth"); I'm not a PostgreSQL user but your connection string should be enclosed

into

by quotes.
