I am trying to get postgresql working on a Redhat 5.2 system. Postgresql
was loaded when the OS was installed on this machine last year, but not
until now are we trying to use Postgresql. I think the version is 6.3.2.
After creating a database using the initdb command, I am unable to create
any users. For example, when
createuser root
is issued (while logged in as postgres), I get
Connection to database 'template1' failed.
connectDB() failed: Is the postmaster running and accepting connections at
'UNIX Socket' on port '5432'?
createuser: database access failed.
I haven't a clue what to do next. There is no postmaster daemon running
when I checked. I fiddled a bit trying to get postmaster running without
success.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
