Re: Having tough time getting php working for postgresql..

Do NOT uninstall. The package you need to install is called php-pgsql.
You should be able to do a (as root of course or sudo if that is set up)

Yum install php-pgsql

Restart apache and you are good to go.

Hello
form the php site--

In order to enable PostgreSQL support, --with-pgsql[=DIR] is required
when you compile PHP. DIR is the PostgreSQL base install directory,
defaults to /usr/local/pgsql. If shared object module is available,
PostgreSQL module may be loaded using extension
<http://nl3.php.net/manual/nl/ini.sect.path-directory.php#ini.extension>
directive in php.ini or dl()
<http://nl3.php.net/manual/nl/function.dl.php> function.

The default php instalations on most linux distro's don't come with
postgresql enabled !
So you need to unistall the default php version first.

what version of redhat are you using?

what version of the php rpm to do you have installed? (use 'rpm -q php'
to check)
