This is a common problem under win32 Apache/PHP & PostgreSQL. A pg_connect statement without host field completed (i.e.
withouthaving either pg_connect("localhost",[...]) or pg_connect("host=$hostname [...]") ) will fail. Yes, because when
internetsockets are not forced like the above, the switch back to unix sockets doesn't work on win32.
And there could be some much common mistakes like a misspell or such. It also depends on your version of Apache/PHP --
whetherit's a win32 build or a cygwin (in this last case the "c:\apache\website\html\varios\webtasker\php\postgres.php"
beingan abuse -- cygwin doesn't call it's paths/files like this :)
