[Phpgroupware-users] phpGroupware and PostgreSQL: Database error: Link-ID == false, connect failed

[Sebastian Niehaus]

Hi,

I actually try to get an idea how phpgroupware is like. I Installed
the packages on my Debian Woody maschine.

,----
| toxic:/home/niehaus# apt-cache policy phpgroupware
| phpgroupware:
|   Installed: 0.9.14-0.RC3.2.woody3
|   Candidate: 0.9.14-0.RC3.2.woody3
|   Version Table:
|  *** 0.9.14-0.RC3.2.woody3 0
|         500 http://security.debian.org woody/updates/main Packages
|         500 http://ftp.rfc822.org woody/updates/main Packages
|         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
|      0.9.14-0.RC3.2.woody2 0
|         500 cdrom://[Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 r2 _Woody_ - Official i386 Binary-5 
(20031201)] unstable/main Packages
| toxic:/home/niehaus# 
`----

I installed PHP4 

,----
| toxic:/home/niehaus# apt-cache policy php4        
| php4:
|   Installed: 4:4.1.2-6woody3
|   Candidate: 4:4.1.2-6woody3
|   Version Table:
|  *** 4:4.1.2-6woody3 0
|         500 cdrom://[Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 r2 _Woody_ - Official i386 Binary-1 
(20031201)] unstable/main Packages
|         500 http://security.debian.org woody/updates/main Packages
|         500 http://ftp.rfc822.org woody/updates/main Packages
|         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
| toxic:/home/niehaus#

... and PortgreSQL:

,----
| toxic:/home/niehaus# apt-cache policy postgresql
| postgresql:
|   Installed: 7.2.1-2woody4
|   Candidate: 7.2.1-2woody4
|   Version Table:
|  *** 7.2.1-2woody4 0
|         500 cdrom://[Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 r2 _Woody_ - Official i386 Binary-1 
(20031201)] unstable/main Packages
|         500 http://security.debian.org woody/updates/main Packages
|         500 http://ftp.rfc822.org woody/updates/main Packages
|         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
| toxic:/home/niehaus#

The PostgreSQL module gets loaded by PHP.

,----
| toxic:/home/niehaus# grep pgsql /etc/php4/apache/php.ini 
| ;extension=php_pgsql.dll
| pgsql.allow_persistent = On
| pgsql.max_persistent = -1
| pgsql.max_links = -1
| extension=pgsql.so
| toxic:/home/niehaus#
`----


If I point my browser to the setup-URL
http://127.0.0.1/phpgroupware/setup/ I get the message


,----
| Database error: Link-ID == false, connect failed
| PostgreSQL Error: 0 ()
| 
| Session halted.
`----


Well, I actually have no idea how to debug this. Is there anybody who
could help me? Any additional Information I need to provide?


Thanks in advance (and excuse my english since I'm not an native
speaker (writer).
