I am trying to run commands from the shell (without becoming the postgres user first), which work fine on our live server, but on our dev server I receive FATAL authentication errors.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ createdb -U postgres lan_portal createdb: could not connect to database postgres: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "postgres" [EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ psql -U postgres lan_portal < /tmp/lan_portal.bck psql: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "postgres" What needs to be configured so I can run the above commands in the shell? I was able to create the database once I "su" to postgres, using CREATE DATABASE, but I do not know how to restore a database as I do in the shell as listed above.
