pg_connect("host=/var/pgsql [...other parameters...]")
The fact that the value for host starts with a slash indicates
without ambiguity that it's a path on disk rather than the name
or address of a host on the network.
However if apache runs in a chroot jail, it should no more see
/var/pgsql than it sees /tmp
Given an apache process id, on Linux you should be able
to check the current filesystem-root of that process with
# ls -ld /proc/$PID/root
It should show a soft link to the directory that corresponds to
the root from the point of view of the $PID process.
But again, most people would use host=localhost in this setup.
