Isn't that the server name it's printing after the message? Seems an  
odd name for a server...
If I enter that in Vim I get ^Dæã¿PF, which doesn't even seem a  
valid UTF-8 sequence according to my quick checks.



what may be the solution.

well there are a couple of checks you could do to find out:

1) decide how to connect - via IP or via unix socket
2) in each of the above see if postmaster is indeed listening to that
   socket (netstat is your friend)
   - adjust postgresql.conf and/or start options accordingly.
   depending on your distribution you might want to enable logging
3) try connection via psql command line client
   - see if you have matching pg_hba.conf entries
4) try to connect via psql command line client with the same user your
   script runs (apache in your case)
   - same as (3) but ident vs. md5 (password) in pg_hba.conf

after all you might want to use some pooling layer because pg_connect
from cgi can get very expensive (also note that outside of PHP there
are a lot possible elegant solutions to that)

hello,

most crucial information is missing, like:

- your operating system
- your postgresql version
- on which computer is your database server running
- is your database server running


But most likely your problem is that you did not configure PostgreSQL
to listen to TCP/IP-requests. Which again makes it most likely that
you are using a way outdated PostgreSQL Version (that ist  8.x)

Please update to 8.3.1, and adjust your postgresql.conf, parameter

listen_addresses (string)

accordingly.

Best wishes,

Harald

Hmm, so the most useful part of the error message is getting trashed :-(

One possible explanation for that is that you're using a non-thread-safe
libpq in a threaded environment.  What PG version is your libpq,
exactly, and how did you build or obtain it?

I don't know how the error message is structured, but if  
\x04\xe6\xe3\xbfP refers to the host, perhaps the connection string  
you are handing to pg_connect() is trashed. What is the actual code  
you are using for this call?
