PHPBB3

[jabr-mNDKBlG2WHs at public.gmane.org (John Abreau)]

Did you add permissions to pg_hba.conf? By default, psql uses
UNIX sockets, not TCP/IP, and ph_hba.conf (Host-Based Access)
is where you set those permissions.

On CentOS (and presumably RHEL and Fedora, too), the file is at

     /usr/share/pgsql/pg_hba.conf

On my home web server, I added the following to pg_hba.conf:

    host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32          password

This allows all users you define inside postgresql to connect from localhost.
