I sucessfully installed the cygwin version of postgres on Windows ME (using latest version of cygwin distro). I can connect to the postgres server and create databases using psql. I am now trying to connect to it from PHP. I downloaded the latest development snapshot from php4win (php-4.0.7-dev). I am running php as a module on my windows platform using a recent version of Apache as the HTTP server. I configured the relevant extension info in my php.ini extension_dir = c:/php-4.0.7/extensions/ extension=php_pgsql.dll I copied all the dlls in the dll directory to my windows/system folder. I cannot connect to my running postgres server. I lauched postgres with the following command: /usr/share/postmaster -i -h 127.0.0.1 -D /usr/share/postgresql/data Test script: <?php $dbconn = pg_connect("host=127.0.0.1 host=5432 dbname=mydb"); ?> Gives me this error: Warning: Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: connectDBStart() -- unknown hostname: 127.0.0.1 in c:\apache\htdocs\pg.php on line 2 Any ideas on what I might do to fix the error? Also, has anybody gotten Postgres and PHP to work together on a Windows ME setup (or win 98, 95?)? Regards, Paul
