Thanks for the reply. Now at least I know that my emails are getting through!
Yes, PostgreSQL and phpPgAdmin are on the same server.

Well, I tried both a reboot and logout/login, with no success yet.

I hadn't thought to check that.
Everything in that directory is rwxr-xr-x root
admin. Could it be an ownership or group problem?

Hmm. I'm getting a "role 'root' does not exist"
error, though I've got --role=billc -W (a working
user name and password) in there.
I did a search in the wiki and don't see
anything to address that specifically, though
there's stuff about getting that response when
you're calling a user that doesn't exist.
Is the file owner being 'root' the problem? Should it be 'postgres'?
