Hi John,
I would try and add a password. Use the Postgress admin tools to add
a password to the database, then un-comment the $password line above
and add the option to the pg_connect statement above
"password=$password"
I am not sure, but I have a feeling that some packages that use
passwords can be configured to force their use. Having no password
on a database would be a security risk, so the database program may
be configured to require them.
