Hi,
I'm a novice for using Postgres and Linux - any help or suggestions would be really appreciated, thanks!!! I'm having trouble logging on as the postgres user. I wanted to
create a database, so I tried...
root# /usr/local/pgsql/bin/createdb test
psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
createdb: database creation failed
(so i thought i probably needed to logon as postgres, so i tried...)
root# su - postgres
su: user postgres does not exist
root# adduser postgres
adduser: group postgres exists - if you want to add this user to that group, use -g.
root# chown postgres /usr/local/pgsql/data
chown: `postgres': invalid user
I'm a little stuck....can anybody help? thanks so much!
jenn.
