How to connect to a postgres database with CakePHP?

Hello everyone,

I'm just starting with CakePHP, I went through the blog tutorial without trouble but would now like to try it with a proper DBMS like postgres. I tweaked the database.php file to point to a database I created in my local postgres instance (see below). I have no issues connecting to this database with a SQL client, but CakePHP complains with the following message:

CakePHP is NOT able to connect to the database.

Database connection "Postgres" is missing, or could not be created.
Selected driver is not enabled

Apparently I need to enable the postgres driver (I already verifier that the postgres DboSource class in present), but so far I haven't found any instructions in the documentation on how to do it.

Any hints are welcome. Thanks.

class DATABASE_CONFIG {

    public $default = array(
        'datasource' => 'Database/Postgres',
        'persistent' => false,
        'host' => 'localhost',
        'port' => '5432',
        'login' => 'cakephp',
        'password' => 'cakephp',
        'database' => 'cakephp',
        'schema' => 'blog_tuto',
        'prefix' => '',
        //'encoding' => 'utf8',
    );

    public $test = array(
        'datasource' => 'Database/Postgres',
        'persistent' => false,
        'host' => 'localhost',
        'port' => '5432',
        'login' => 'cakephp',
        'password' => 'cakephp',
        'database' => 'cakephp',
        'schema' => 'blog_tuto',
        'prefix' => '',
        //'encoding' => 'utf8',
    );
}
