Hi again,
I've upgraded to PostgreSQL 8.4 now (yeah, I read the docs again :) ) but I'm still getting the same error.
When I tcpdump at the database server (a different host), I don't see any traffic (however when I use psql from the command like I do see the traffic).
Is there a log file generated during the install process that I could check?
psql connects through sockets, Drupal (was used to?) connect through tcp. Give a look to pg_hba.conf for connection permission. PHP had (has?) a problem and if you really want to have a socket connection you had to skip "host=localhost" in the connection string. Drupal is using a completely new DB abstraction layer and this may not be needed anymore.
