Faith,

I'm guessing one of 2 things is happening here:

- PHP is connecting through the Unix socket in /tmp, and permissions are
wrong on the /tmp directory for the Apache user
- Something like TCP wrappers is blocking localhost connections

Try changing the connection host to the machine's ethernet IP address
instead of 127.0.0.1, this will give you a clue if this is the case.
You could also examine the PostgreSQL logs - I doubt if it would log
this error, but it's worth a shot.

Andy.
