I just installed Postgresql and pgadmin in my Ubuntu system. I can create a database from the pgadmin interface and everything seems ok, but when I try to connect to the database from my CodeIgniter application it cannot not connect. It shows an error like:
An uncaught Exception was encountered
Type: Error
Message: Call to undefined function pg_pconnect()
Filename: /my codeigniter application
path/system/database/drivers/postgre/postgre_driver.php
My database configuration is:
$db['postgres_db'] = array(
'dsn' => '',
'hostname' => 'localhost',
'username' => 'postgres',
'password' => '1234',
'database' => 'finance',
'dbdriver' => 'postgre',
'dbprefix' => '',
'pconnect' => TRUE,
'cache_on' => FALSE,
'cachedir' => '',
'char_set' => 'utf8',
'dbcollat' => 'utf8_general_ci',
'swap_pre' => '',
'encrypt' => FALSE,
'compress' => FALSE,
'stricton' => FALSE,
'failover' => array(),
'save_queries' => TRUE,
'port' => 5432
);
How can I resolve this problem?

Make sure you have the PDO driver enabled in PHP.
