[support] Recent move Drupal 6.22, PHP5.3, PostGresql 8.4 doesn't work

[Jamie Holly]

Apache doesn't have anything to do with the database. That's PHP and 
Drupal. Since you're getting the site offline error, there's a problem 
within the database. Check your PHP/Apache error logs and see what's 
being reported there.
