NAME
     phppgadmin - Web based postgreSQL admin tool overview

DESCRIPTION

     phppgadmin is opensource web-based administration tool for PostgreSQL.
     The tool's home page is http://sourceforge.net/projects/phppgadmin

     It can be configured to be used with any php supported webserver such 
     as apache webserver. See apache2(1M).

     The apache webserver configuration file httpd.conf will need to be 
     modified to enable PHP and to point to phppgadmin install location.

     An example apache httpd.conf file on solaris may include following lines 
     (only significant components of interest are included here) :
     
              ServerRoot "/usr/apache2/2.2"
              DocumentRoot "/usr/postgres/phppgadmin"
              Include /etc/apache2/2.2/conf.d/php5.conf

     Also PHP installation should include the pgsql.so extension module
     to be able to connect to postgreSQL server.

     For example, PHP version 5.2.4 on Solaris delivers pgsql.so module
     in following location : /usr/php5/5.2.4/modules/pgsql.so : 

     Another php config file pgsql.ini file enables this extension 
     by default :
        /etc/php5/5.2.4/conf.d/pgsql.ini : 
              This file contains single line: "extension=pgsql.so" 
              to enable this extension.

     The /etc/phppgadmin/config.inc.php config file specifies user 
     configurable parameters for the tool. 
     For example, the default config.inc.php file includes following: 

        // Display name for the server on the login screen
        $conf['servers'][0]['desc'] = 'PostgreSQL';

        // Hostname or IP address for server.  Use '' for UNIX domain socket.
        // use 'localhost' for TCP/IP connection on this computer
        $conf['servers'][0]['host'] = '';

        // Database port on server (5432 is the PostgreSQL default)
        $conf['servers'][0]['port'] = 5432;

      The parameters can be changed as desired. For the brief description
      of all the supported parameters, see the default config file.
