There you're trying to use "socket" connection (which corresponds to
"local" in pg_hba.conf:
> # "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
> local all all ident sameuser
> #local all all md5
> # IPv4 local connections:
> host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
> host all all 192.168.1.0/24 trust
> #host all all 192.168.1.0/24 password
> # IPv6 local connections:
> host all all ::1/128 md5
Suggestion: try changing your phppgadmin configuration with
$conf['servers'][0]['host'] = 'localhost'; (to connect via TCP/IP), or
your pg_hba configuration for md5 or your preferred auth method on
local sockets...
