Almost certainly, this represents selinux thinking that apache shouldn't
be making connections to random ports, and denying the socket open long
before it ever has a chance to get to postgres.
If you poke around in the selinux configuration options you can probably
find a switch that opens this up, but I don't know offhand what it is.
Or you could disable selinux, but if you're running a publicly visible
webserver I'd strongly recommend against that. selinux will save your
bacon someday, but not if it's turned off.
