the first error brings up a SO post where someone suggests editing your
postgresql.conf file adding the line:

listen_addresses = '*'

Thanks; perhaps 'duckduckgo'ing is not as accurate ;) assuming the search engine query result referred to is somewhere in that 'stackoverflow' web site...

Changed the configuration file to include:
"
listen_addresses = 'localhost'
"
For now, no password for database until php is learnt a bit more. So far, after this configuration file change, connection to the postgresql database continues to fail, but the previous error (sign-in to database via command terminal) is solved.

The php web page continues to return:
"
Generic CPAC database Could not connect
"

Please, any other ideas to follow?
