Attempting to connect to database server as xxxxx... error: No database connection What am I doing wrong?
(Please indicate which version you are using - Postgres support is much further along in the 1.8 svn version than 1.7)
The connection to the database is not being made, due to one of the settings being wrong (or the database not being started or not existing). See if you can connect via the "psql" program from the command line, using the same port and user (or superuser) and password you are trying with the install. For example, the default config settings would lead you to try this:
psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U wikiuser wikidb
That should give you a clearer error message as to why the connection is failing. You may also prefer to connect as a superuser, so that MediaWiki can create the accounts needed for you. Don't forget you can ask on irc at freenode.net on the channels #postgresql or #mediawiki for possibly quicker help.
