I'll be the first to admit that I might have made a mistake. This is on a
box I use for testing only.. so nothing bad will happen if I muck things up..

This is the error I got in my errorlog:
Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: could not connect to server:
Connection refused
         Is the server running locally and accepting
         connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/5432"?
in /path_to/filename.php on line 61

 From a little search on Google it seems a pretty common problem.. So if I
made a mistake I'm probably not the first :-)
