PHP on CentOS 6.5 can not connect to Postgres DB [duplicate] - php

This question already has an answer here:
Can't Connect to PostgreSQL with PHP pg_connect()
(1 answer)
Closed 8 years ago.
I have a CentOS 6.5 virtual machine, which run on VirtualBox.
On it I have set up Apache, PHP, PHP Postgres extension (php-pgsql) and Postgres database.
I modified the pg_hba.conf file to allow connections:
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local all all peer
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 ident
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::1/128 ident
host all all 192.168.0.0/24 trust
host all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5
This is my iptables file:
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:8090
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:postgres
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Now, when I connect from my host machine (ip: 192.168.0.117) to Postgres with the client pgAdmin3 (user: postgres, password: postgres) I am able to do that and everything works fine but PHP running on my CentOS VM can not connect to database:
$connection_string = "host=localhost port=5432 dbname=rt_prezzario user=postgres password=postgres";
$resource = pg_connect($connection_string);
This is the warning that PHP triggers when I run those two code lines:
Warning: pg_connect(): Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: could not connect to server: Permission denied Is the server running on host "localhost" (::1) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
Anyone have suggestions?

SELinux is likely blocking the connection. You should be able to find a log entry in /var/log/messages when the connection was blocked.
Try setting this flag in SELinux:
setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect_db on
RedHat has some documentation on this SELinux flag: 1

local server can't connect to remote postgresql database using PHP, but local terminal can connect

The title might make this seem like a duplicate of some existing questions here on SO, but its kind of not in a way, in my opinion.
8140863, 30617357, 27749691
But I can't for the life of me make the answers to these threads work, instead of asking questions on those threads, I would like to create my own question, I'd like to discuss my setup and then my problem, and then what I've tried
My server setup is this, I have a local(an actual physical machine) and a VPS I'm renting, both are running at Centos7.x, PostgreSQL10, Php 7.x, and Python-2.x, BOTH can ping and ssh each other through a VPN just fine.
Both can connect to their own respective databases just fine through PHP, Python, PSQL Terminal
On my VPS Server, I can connect to my Local Server's PostgreSQL database using Python(psycopg2), PHP(php-pgsql) and Terminal(psql) totally fine.
On my local server, I can connect to my VPS PostgreSQL using Python(psycopg2) and Terminal(psql) EXCEPT through PHP(php-pgsql)
Whenever I connect to VPS's PostgreSQL through PHP, I'm getting this error like everyone else
pg_connect(): Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server:
could not connect to server: Permission denied
Is the server running on host "123.456.0.789" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
Here are what I've done.
On postgresql.conf set listen_address = "*" -- this is OK
Added pg_hba entries for both -- this is OK (python and terminal can connect on both)
Port 5432/tcp is both enabled and allowed -- this is OK
Selinux is disabled -- this is the answers for the thread referenced above, but it doesn't work for me even after reboot of course.
these are the result of my netstat
#netstat -na | grep 5432

$pgcon = pg_connect("dbname=database1 user=some_user password=some_password host=123.456.0.789");
edit end : ==
I would like to emphasize that BOTH servers can connect on each others and their own PostgreSQL database through other means, with the exception of my Local Server, it couldn't connect to VPS PostgreSQL using PHP.

I'm really sorry for the long thread, I wanted to give as much information as I can.
Let's split error by types. I'd made several tests with your case and what I found:
If we mess with connection parameters (i.e. wrong port, or IP address) we get the error "could not connect to server: Connection refused" or "Operation timed out
Is the server running on host "128.0.0.1" and accepting")
If we mess with credentials, we get the error "FATAL: password authentication failed for user ..."
Permission denied can be thrown only if you have not permissions to open a TCP connection from your PHP library.
Pls, double-check if you disable SElinux on your Local Server as for me, this is still the closest workaround for your problem.

Cannot connect to remote PostgreSQL server via PHP [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:
Can't Connect to PostgreSQL with PHP pg_connect()
(1 answer)
Closed 8 years ago.
Connecting to a PostgreSQL database via a remote IP address, I have been successful via Windows using pgAdmin III, but I get errors whenever I try connecting from my local CentOS 6 Apache web server using the standard php-pgsql library using pg_connect().
Notes:
I am not in control of the remote server, but could inquire about additional info if needed.
My password does contain a special character (although it's not a quote character).
Creds are as follows:
Host (IP): xx.xx.xx.xx
Port: 5432
DBname: sandbox
Username: abc
Password: ***
MaintenanceDB: template1
This is the PHP code I have attempted to run in my local server:
pg_connect("host=xx.xx.xx.xx port=5432 dbname=sandbox user=abc password=***");
I've also tried:
pg_connect("host=xx.xx.xx.xx port=5432 dbname=template1 user=abc password=***");
When I attempt to connect, I receive the following error:
Warning: pg_connect(): Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: could not connect to server: Permission denied Is the server running on host "xx.xx.xx.xx" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
I have added/uncommented extension=pgsql.so in the /etc/php.d/ directory and service httpd restart. I've even gone as far as opening my iptables ports as such so there should be no doubt about local firewall ports being blocked:
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 5432 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 5432 -j ACCEPT
Thanks in advance :-)
As per your postgresql connection problem, this solution may work. i just take this answer from php manual and i am not sure about it, so please see here for more http://php.net/manual/en/function.pg-connect.php#38291
You should try to leave the host= and port= parts out of the connection string. This sounds strange, but this is an "option" of Postgre. If you have not activated the TCP/IP port in postgresql.conf then postgresql doesn't accept any incoming requests from an TCP/IP port.

I am unable to use MySQL due to a "refused connection"

I am trying to run the no-install version of MySQL on Windows XP located in C:/mysql/ on my machine.
The error message I receive within a PHP file when I try to connect to MySQL reads.
Could not connect: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it
I have edited the config file my.ini and altered/added the following.
[client]
port = 3306
socket = C:/mysql/tmp/mysql.sock
[mysqld]
port = 3306
socket = C:/mysql/tmp/mysql.sock
basedir = C:/mysql/
datadir = C:/mysql/data/
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
skip-networking
enable-named-pipe
When I run mysqld.exe I can confirm it is running within command prompt tasklist.
However when I try cmd netstat -a I cannot see any port usage at 3306.
Inside MySQL error logs, it reads.
140411 13:30:34 [Note] c:\mysql\bin\mysqld.exe: ready for connections.
Version: '5.5.37-log' socket: '' port: 0 MySQL Community Server (GPL)
The port: 0 doesn't look correct to me, but I am not sure.
When I run mysql.exe direct in cmd I get the following returned
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)
Some things I have tried already.
Placing a copy of my.ini in C:/WINDOWS and also a copy within C:/mysql
Changing bind-address = 127.0.0.1 to bind-address =
localhost
Inside PHP file MySQL connection variants, localhost, 127.0.0.1, 127.0.0.1:3306 inside basic mysql_connect()
Created tmp/mysql.sock file (in case dir + file not existing matters)
Commented out skip-networking in my.ini
After running mysqld.exe whilst running ran mysqladmin.exe in cmd which returns 'Can't connect to MySQL server at 'localhost'
Running telnet localhost 3306 returns
'Connecting To localhost...Could not open connection to the host, on port 3306: C
onnect failed'
Commented out bind-address in my.ini to allow default settings.
Ran mysqld.exe with user root (-u root) also inserted user = root in my.ini
Set Windows Firewall to off.
Thanks in advance.
Ok. You have binded your server to specific ip so please read this MySQL bind-addres. Please unbind your server and check if you have proper user. (last paragraph in documentation)

Remote connection to MySQL Linux

I opened up ports on my server
(results of netstat -L)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
tcp 0 0 *:mysql *:* LISTEN
...
but i can't connect to my server on that port via telnet, or remotely to my MySQL server. I am at my wit's end. How can I allow remote access on this port?
mysql -u -h 'my-server-ip' gives me an error that says '(HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'my-server-ip' (10061)
Any help would be appreciated!
EDIT: SOLVED see my answer below
Are you sure you have the correct port open in iptables? MySQL usually listens on port 3306, but above you have port 3389 (which is usually used for RDP).
I rebooted my server and it worked :S
for any future readers, i opened up port 3306 on my firewall, inbound and outbound. then i commented out the binding_address line in my my.cnf file. i also granted access to remote users using phpmyadmin.

Accessing mysql dbase with MysqlWorkBench on VirtualBox (Vagrant - ZF - BoilerPLate)

Does anyone know hot to connect to VB MySQL via MysqlWorkBench. I can log in in virtual box via terminal, but I can not connect it throught MySqlWorkBench. Also I can ping google on vb, ifconfig gave me 10.0.2.15 address, and when I enter it in MysqlWorkBench I got error:
Failed to Connect to MySQL at 127.0.0.1:3306 through SSH tunnel at 10.0.2.15:2222 with user davs
My Virtual box use port 2222 for connecting. Also when I try to connect with ip 127.0.0.1
Failed to Connect to MySQL at 127.0.0.1:3306 through SSH tunnel at 127.0.0.1:2222 with user davs Failed to Connect to MySQL at 127.0.0.1:3306 through SSH tunnel at 127.0.0.1:2222 with user davs
Any advice will be helpfull, thanks.
This looks like an old question but since I just ran into the problem, here are the settings that I used on MysqlWorkbench to get everything working on my mac:
Connection Method: Standard TCP/IP over SSH
SSH Hostname: 127.0.0.1:2222
SSH Key File: /Users//.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key
Mysql Hostname: 127.0.0.1
Mysql Server Port: 3306
Username: root
Password: vagrant
Your settings may be slightly different but the key part is using the insecure private key as was mentioned earlier.
Use the 'insecure private key' located at: ~/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key
