I'm always having the same problem with phpPgAdmin anytime I install
it!=20

Here's the solution I use on Debian:

First create the file /etc/apache2/conf.d/phppgadmin:

Alias /phppgadmin /usr/share/phppgadmin/

<Directory /usr/share/phppgadmin/>
DirectoryIndex index.php

Options +FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None

order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
 allow from all

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
  php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
  php_flag track_vars On
  php_value include_path .
</IfModule>
</Directory>

Next, get the latest snapshot:

$ git clone git://github.com/phppgadmin/phppgadmin.git

Move the downloaded contens to /usr/share/phppgadmin

By default the =E2=80=9Chost=E2=80=9D option is set for UNIX domain socket,=
 you need to
change that for TCP/IP connections. In config.inc.php:=20

$conf['servers'][0]['desc'] =3D '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'] =3D 'localhost';

// Database port on server (5432 is the PostgreSQL default)
$conf['servers'][0]['port'] =3D 5432;

Restart Apache:

# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

You can now access it using: http://whatever.com/phppgadmin/

You can login using whatever account has been setup on PostgreSQL.=20
