connection fails

Hello,

I\'m trying to connect using an extremely simple php script:

$conn = pg_Connect(\"host=localhost dbname=db name user=postgres password=postgres\");

if ($conn) { echo \"ok\"; }
else { echo \"failed\"; }

I get this error message:

Warning: Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: connectDBStart() -- connect() failed: Connection refused Is the
postmasterrunning (with -i) at \'localhost\' and accepting connections on TCP/IP port 5432? in
/var/www/sts.twcable.com/launch_plan/test/c.phpon line 3 
failed

I also tried to work from the command line and get similar error messages.
The weird thing is that phpPgAdmin is working fine and this script works:

 $database = pg_Connect (\"dbname=dbname\");
 pg_exec ($database, \"begin\");
 $oid = pg_locreate ($database);
 echo (\"$oid\\n\");
 $handle = pg_loopen ($database, $oid, \"w\");
 echo (\"$handle\\n\");
 pg_lowrite ($handle, \"gaga\");
 pg_loclose ($handle);
 pg_exec ($database, \"commit\");

[script coming from php.net]

Any ideas??

thnx!
/paula
