Did you create the webuser local account on the server after it was
rebuilt? Check out:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/auth-methods.html#AUTH-ID
ENT
Assuming you are trying to use sameuser. Also, it might be worth
checking that your ident service is running and is reachable. If you
have SELinux running it will complicate matters further.

Subject: [SPAM] - [PHP] conection problem after upgrade to php5 and
postgres 8.0.3 - Bayesian Filter detected spam
Hi,
I've had to rebuild our web server and now my php scripts will not
connect to postgres can anyone tell me why?
Thanks for any help, details below.
Annie
I was using Redhat9, postgres 7.3.4, php 4.2.2 and apache2 now using
Fedora core 4, postgres 8.0.3, php 5.0.4 and apache2
I know php is configured for psql
http://zeldia.cap.ed.ac.uk/Lumbribase/php_info.php
In postgrsql.conf I tried changing listen_addresses = 'localhost' to
listen_addresses = '*' but that didn't work.
I think the pg_hba.conf is OK..
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local all all ident sameuser
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all ***.*.*.*/** ident sameuser
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::*/*** ident sameuser
The error in /var/log/http/error_log is...
[client ***.***.***.***] PHP Warning: pg_connect() [<a
href='function.pg-connect'>function.pg-connect</a>]: Unable to connect
to PostgreSQL server: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user
"webuser" in /var/www/html/Lumbribase/pg_name.php on line 17,
referer: http://zeldia.cap.ed.ac.uk/Lumbribase/search_id.php
and a typical php connection script is...
$PG_HOST="localhost";
$PG_PORT=5432;
$PG_DATABASE="lumbribase";
$PG_USER="webuser";
$PG_PASS="";
$PI=pi();
$dbconn=pg_connect( "dbname=$PG_DATABASE host=$PG_HOST port=$PG_PORT
user=$PG_USER password=$PG_PASS" ); if ( ! $dbconn ) {
echo "Error connecting to the database !<br> " ;
printf("%s", pg_errormessage( $dbconn ) );
exit();
}
