Hello, everyone,
Can anyone help me? I am quite frustrating now. I have been trying to
connect PostgreSQL server through TCP/IP connection using PHP. I was
not successful. Could please read the following and give me some
hints. Thanks a million.
OS: Fedora Core 4 ("uname -s -r" yields "Linux 2.6.12-1.1398_FC4smp")
PostgreSQL: version 8.0.3
PHP: version 5.0.4
In postgresql.conf, these three lines were inserted,
listen_addresses = '*'
port = 5432
max_connections = 100
The following lines were inserted to pg_hba.conf:
local all all password
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 password
host all all 192.168.0.0/1 password
restart posgresql by
/sbin/service postgresql restart
The server was restarted OK.
The PHP script used to connect database is as follows,
<?php
$conn = pg_connect("host=localhost port=5432 dbname=foodb user=foo
password=foo") or die ("Can not connect to postgres");
$result=pg_exec("SELECT * FROM footbl");
$fetch = pg_fetch_row($result);
print "<html><body>";
print $fetch[0];
print "<body></html>";
pg_close($conn); // Close this connection
?>
Assume this PHP script is named as "connectdb.php", then on
commandline, when I run the following,
php connectedb.php
I see correct results, e.g.,
<html><body>foo<body></html>
On commandline again, I used the following to connect database,
psql -d foodb -h localhost -p 5432 -U foo
Password: ************
Welcome to psql 8.0.3, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
Type: \copyright for distribution terms
\h for help with SQL commands
\? for help with psql commands
\g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
\q to quit
foodb=>
It is OK. Then I disabled "iptables" temporarily for testing purpose by
/sbin/service iptables stop
Flushing firewall rules: [ OK ]
Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: filter [ OK ]
Unloading iptables modules: [ OK ]
On localhost, I tried this command,
telnet localhost 5432
after hit "enters", telnet exited. I checked postgresql_%S.log and see
"LOG: invalid length of startup packet"
which means postgresql server indeed saw the telnet connection.
I tried this on any of my other machines in the LAN, I observed the same thing.
In summary, it seemed the postgresql allowed TCP/IP connection, and
worked well. However, when I ran the PHP script through web browser, I
did not get connection. Instead, in Apache web server's error_log, I
see
[client 192.168.1.10] PHP Warning: pg_connect() [<a
href='function.pg-connect'>function.pg-connect</a>]: Unable to connect
to PostgreSQL server: could not connect to server: Permission
denied\n\tIs the server running on host "localhost" and
accepting\n\tTCP/IP connections on port 5432? in /foo/connectdb.php on
line 2
Interestingly, when I checked the log file for postgresql again, it
did not have anything for this connection failure. It seemed the
connection did not send to the database server at all. However,
1) I disabled firewall
2) I can telnet the ports
3) I can run the script from commandline
What could go wrong?
Thanks a lot for your reading this lengthy email. Waiting for your help!

I usually use pg_ctl to start.
With it and other methods of starting postgres you have to include the
-i flag to get it to listen over TCP/IP
perhaps your method of restarting needs this flag as well?

did you enable the "i" flag when you started the
postmaster? if you didn't do that, tcp/ip will not
connect!
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/interactive/app-postmaster.html
good luck.

Thanks, Matthew! I did notice that "-i" flag was used to enable the
postgresql server to listen over TCP/IP. However, it seemed to me this
option had become obsolete in postgresal 8.0. I did not find "-i"
option from man page. Plus, the document here
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/runtime-config.html
states that I only need to insert "listen_addresses" option in the
postgresql.conf file. Did I misunderstand anything? What do you think?
thanks again!

Hello,
Thanks a lot!
I did noticed "-i" option. I am using 8.0 whose manual
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/app-postmaster.html)
states that "-i" option is deprecated. The manual
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/runtime-config.html#RUNTIME-CONFIG-CONNECTION)
also says that I can enable "listen_addresses" option in the
postgresql.conf to enable the server to listen over TCP/IP. What
really puzzles me is that I could actually telnet server at 5432 ports
and saw an corresponding entry in the log file; however, when I used
PHP to connect the server, the log file did not have an entry for the
failed connection attempt at all. Do you think what can go wrong?
Thanks!

This may be of interest to the PHP Dev group. I'll forward it to
someone there.

Hello,
Very good point. But did configure the PHP with pgsql support. In
fact, I can successfully connect the postgresql server over
UNIX-domain socket, e.g., this code below uses the UNIX-domain socket
since I do not have include "host" and "port" in "pg_connect" function
call,
<?php
$conn = pg_connect("dbname=foodb user=foo password=foo") or die
("Can not connect to postgres");
$result=pg_exec("SELECT * FROM footbl");
$fetch = pg_fetch_row($result);
print "<html><body>";
print $fetch[0];
print "<body></html>";
pg_close($conn); // Close this connection
?>
This code produced the expected result. However, when "host" and
"port" were given, the connection failed. What I can conclude is,
1) PHP was successfully configured with postgresql support. PHP
connected the database server UNIX-domain socket without any problem;
However, PHP could not establish connection with the database server
over TCP/IP
2) It seemed the database server accepted TCP/IP connection since I
could locate an entry in the database log file when a telnet attempt
at port 5432 was issued.
3) PHP did not pass the connection to the database at all because I
did not see any entry for the failed connection in the database log
file.
Am I getting it correctly? How should I do?
Thanks a lot!

could this have something to do with SELinux? can you disable it alltogether
and try?

The -i command line switch is depreciated in version 8. A new mechanism
is now preferred. In order to connect via TCP/IP you must tell
PostgreSQL to listen on TCP interfaces in the file
/var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf
Change:
listen_addresses = 'localhost' to listen_addresses = '*'
You must also have appropriate entries in pg_hba.conf for hosts and
authentication type. You could use something like:
local all all password
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 password
host all all 192.168.1.0/24 password
Be sure to enter your own subnet instead of 192.168.1.0.

Hello, Javier,
Thanks. I tried accordingly. I change the line in /boot/grub/grob.conf from
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4smp ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
to
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4smp ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet selinux=0
. I then reboot the linux. I would assume it will disable SElinux
altogehter. The problem remains. I seems like it is not about SElinux.
Thanks!
Gray

Whether the password you typed here is "foo"?

Thanks a lot! If I typed the password wrong, I should be able to see a
corresponding entry in the log file. The entry should look like
"FATAL: password authentication failed for user foo". However, I did
not see any entry corresponding to the failed connection at all.
Therefore, I ruled out the possibility that the wrong password was the
reason.
