You need a line like this (for 7.2.3 and earlier):

host  all  127.0.0.1   255.255.255.255  ident sameuser

for 7.3:

host  all  all  127.0.0.1   255.255.255.255  ident sameuser


(assuming you have a database user called 'apache' and are running an
ident server on that machine; if not, you need a different
authentication method instead of 'ident sameuser'.)

You need to make sure that this comes before any other host line that
would reject the connection.
