problem with pgsql

[vicent]

Hi everybody.
I'm a new postgresql user and i hope you can help me.
I made a simple php3 page to probe postgresql and it returns :

Warning: Unable to connect to PostgresSQL server: connectDB() -- connect() failed: Connection refused

Postgresql works correctly when i use psql in a console.

Can you help me?

Thanks a lot.

are you running the "old" pgsql connection command. It looks like

pg_connect("", "", "", "", "databasename");

ie, it takes 5 args instead of one. I only mention this because it appears you're running php3 and I'm not sure when the change was made. Note that the old call still works with newer versions of php

Yes, i'm running a simple php3 script to connect to pgsql.

$connection=pg_connect("localhost", "", "", "","dbname");

This is the 'old' pgsql connection command, isn't it?
