phppgadmin

I have installed both phpPgAdmin and pgAdmin III on my Ubuntu 9.10 dev box.

I created a server using pgAdmin III, and then added a database and populated it.

I then navigated to phpPgAdmin, expecting to be able to see the server and be able to log on to the server using the postgres account.

However, the only server shown 'PostgreSQL' (and it had a red cross icon). When I attempted to login using the postgres account, the following message was displayed:

Login disallowed for security reasons.

I have the following questions:

Where is the server and database I created (they are still visible when I use pgAdmin III)
How may I add another user to the server and give it access to a database?
