Hi, I am totally new to PostgreSQL & PostGIS so I excuse that my question is lame, but the hint in the pgAdmin III help did not work out. As I think I tried to install with all default settings, this might occur to other newbies too:
I installed PostgreSQL 9.0 under Windos98 with the installer, fine. I left the default settings for server/account creation: postgres, localhost, 5432. In the pgAdmin III prog (Windows GUI) I dont manage to connect the server, that's why my PostGIS 1.5 installation also fails. I read in pgAdmin III help that postgresql.conf setting must be: # - Connection Settings - listen_addresses = '*' ...AND this was its setting already by default. So why cant I connect the server? Where do I want to connect anyway? - as actually I just want to install PostGIS on a machine to have a look at it. Anyone please with some newbie-help how to connect the PostgresSQL server so I can install and launch PostGIS? *offering some virtual cookies* Thanks a lot and cheers florian -- Schon gehört?
