I struggled with this for a while too, especially in terms of getting
phppgadmin to work.

I've got the following in my pg_hba.conf

local all all trust
host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 md5

Also, in your postgresql.conf make sure you have tcpip_socket = 1 as
shown below.

# Connection Parameters
#
# TCP/IP access is allowed by default, but the default access given in
# pg_hba.conf will permit it only from localhost, not other machines.
tcpip_socket = 1

I think these were the only changes I had to make to get phppgadmin to
work on the localhost.

HTH.
