   Many database adapters use the followin scheme:
database@host:port user password
   @host and :port and password may be omitted, but I think user must be
included.

   For default settings (localhost and 5432) you may omit these parts, so
just use "test", but add user part:

test www

   (and allow user "www" to access the DB "test" withou password; or
better; use password)
