Quoting Danny O'Brien <dannyo@steinrogan.com>:
...
This led me to examine "dbconnect.php" -- the following line is
present:
$link = pg_connect ("", "", "", "", "ourdb" or
die ( "Could not connect to database." );
Danny,
First of all, that code snippet can't be right, you're missing a ')'
check out the pg_connect manual page at:
http://php.net/pg_connect
You should pass it a valid connection string, but yours has a lot of
empty values.
Change:
$link = pg_connect ("", "", "", "", "ourdb" or
die ( "Could not connect to database." );
into:
$conn_string = "dbname=ourdb user=postgres password=drowssap";
$link = pg_connect($conn_string) or
die ( "Could not connect to database." );
This assumes that:
The postgres server runs on the same machine as the websever (I
understand it
is). Since we didn't specify a host and port number, it will connect
to the
localhost over a unix domain socket.
Your username is postgres (if it isn't, change it)
You password is drowssap (change it to the real password)
That should get you going
All suggestions welcome. Solution guaranteed posted to the list.
Since the solution includes your password, a 'it works' will do :)
