[Mediawiki-l] Installation errors with postgresql 8.3.7

[Madhav Ancha]

Hi,

   When trying to run the configuration script from the browser, I get the
following error. Doesn't look like its connecting to postgres. But from a
shell, I can successfully do a psql -U wikiuser -d wikidb. Did anyone else
encounter this issue?

Thanks,
Madhav.
