I have no experience actually using a modern FreeBSD jail, but I do have 
some questions?

1. Are PHP and PostgreSQL running in different jails?

2. What are the addresses PostgreSQL is set to listen on?

3. What PHP statement are you using to establish the connection?

4. If PHP and PostgreSQL are on different jails,


1. Be sure you are connecting with localhost, not local unix domain 
sockets (it appears you are based on the error message).

2. Is PHP running on a different jail than PHP? If my reading is 
correct, a FreeBSD jail is basically a virtual host and has its own IP 
addresses and I doubt that the loopback localnet is shared among those 
hosts.

3. What is the IP address of the server and of the client and what PHP 
connection statement are you using?

Cheers,
Steve
