Can I first ask why you have those options? A directory named
/www implies that is your htdoc root. Having your raw database
files available via a web server is neither necessary nor safe.
Also, you want to avoid having PG listen on a tcp socket if
possible. PHP should be smart enough to look for the PG unix
socket rather an a tcp socket.
