Re: Install postgres 7.2 on Mac problems

Irfan, you might try Marc Liyanage's installs for OS X
(http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/). I'm a non-Mac user, and was able
to successfully install his package without issue.

I'm afraid that I don't know much about the official Apple package. What
version is it? (7.2.1, 7.2.2 or 7.2.3?)

Open up the Shell or terminal application and try:
psql -U postgres template1

It may let you in without a password, and then you can set the password by
doing:

ALTER USER postgres WITH PASSWORD 'password';

I don't know what the Mac package sets as its pg_hba.conf; you should take
a
look at it if you are having trouble connecting.

I have installed Postgres on OSX, but only from source. Sorry I'm not more

help.
