Well, I have managed to get PG running. I had to copy the file boot/zeta/etc/hosts-sample, save as 'hosts', and add the line:

127.0.0.1 localhost

Now PG starts reliably. I still can't connect with phpPgAdmin, but a quick trip through the archives of that group shows that to be a very common problem, with no concrete solution.

Hi

Would you not have to start the postmaster with the "-i" switch to allow
TCP/IP connections to the DB?
