asterisk users - Feb 2008 - How to Configure 1.4.17 to Store CDR's in PostgreSQL

I'm having a heck of a time saving my CDR's into a PostgreSQL database.
I've
installed PostgreSQL on a remote server and it is successfully storing voicemail
messages but I cannot get the 1.4.17 system to store CDR records there.

Has anyone successfully configured a 1.4 system to store CDR's in a remote
PostgreSQL database?

If yes, can you point me to any set of instructions that work. I've tried
the
instructions outlined in the Asterisk TFOT 2nd edition book as well as
voip-info.org to no avail.

Thanks in advance,

Vic
