Step 10 - db error

Squiz Matrix Installation

hi all


today i found this cms and thought i gona test this on my local system. windows xp, php 4.x, apache 1.3.x as well as pgsql 8.0.2. i haven't had pgsql experience ever before. everything worked fine until step 10. there i get the following error:



DB Error: connect failed when connecting to database.

Could not get database handler for dsn pgsql://tester:tester@unix()/tester



i searched the forum and found that i have to enable the php_pgsql.dll extension library in my php.ini, what i did. but it still doesn't work. does someone have an idea, what else that could be? thank you and till then. kind regards / marc

Did you restart Apache after making that change to php.ini?

3

be sure i did that :slight_smile:

4

can you connect to the db using the psql command line too using that user/pass combo to that database?

i tried the following:

    <?php
    $conn_string = "host=localhost port=5432 dbname=tester user=tester password=tester";
    $dbconn4 = pg_connect ($conn_string);
    ?>


i didn't get any error messages, so it think this works... what else could it be? have a nice day and kind regards. marc

You MUST specify Database Location unix() in step 9.
