on my server, I have 'http' registered as a user for my database. you can
try that.
Or you can add the user=username password=password to the pg_connect()
function.

Ok, I tried this and this is the error message I get now:
Warning: Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: FATAL 1: user
"www-data" does not exist in /var/www/personnel/include/database.inc on
line 9
Could not connect to database.
www-data is the user and group for apache. I don't know what to make of
this.
Here's my database.inc file:
<?php
//
// database.inc
//
// Database Information
$dbname = "personnel";
$conn = pg_pconnect("host=localhost port=5432 dbname=$dbname");
if (!$conn) {
echo "Could not connect to database.";
exit;
}
?>
