Hello, again.

I recently emailed a (badly phrased) question to the list concerning
interfacing Postgres into our web.

What I didn't explain very well was that I created a special user to
work as both the httpd user, and as a postgres user.  This new special
user, then called 'stupid', failed to work.

I'd like to thank Kacper.Nowicki@fuw.edu.pl for the correct solution:

httpd does not set the USER or LOGNAME envariables that libpq requires.

Once I set these, my gateway worked properly.  Other gateway applications
may need USER, LOGNAME, PATH and other envariables set for correct
operation.

Thanks,
-Brent
