Your set-up has Apache, PHP and Postgres all running from the same
machine.
So as far as running from there goes, it is "localhost".
There is no requirement to traverse a network. It is all on the same
physical machine.

Alter your postgresql.conf file and remove the hash so that:-

listen_addresses = 'localhost'

is explicitly defined. Alter pg_hba.conf so that localhost is declared
and let's see what happens.

Cheers,
Rob
