I don't know which version of PHP you are running, but can you re-write
the call to pg_connect as a try . . . catch block so that the exact
error message is returned instead of just a "die"?
Are you sure postgres is configured to use port 5432? There is no
PGPORT environment variable set?
Why are you starting postgres with a -c option and no parameters
following?
I assume you know that version 9.6 of postgres is nearly at EoL.
HTH,
