I have no experience actually using a modern FreeBSD jail, but I do have
some questions?

1. Are PHP and PostgreSQL running in different jails?

2. What are the addresses PostgreSQL is set to listen on?

3. What PHP statement are you using to establish the connection?

4. If PHP and PostgreSQL are on different jails,

1. Be sure you are connecting with localhost, not local unix domain
sockets (it appears you are based on the error message).

2. Is PHP running on a different jail than PHP? If my reading is
correct, a FreeBSD jail is basically a virtual host and has its own IP
addresses and I doubt that the loopback localnet is shared among those
hosts.

3. What is the IP address of the server and of the client and what PHP
connection statement are you using?
