[BUGS] Problem in Postgresql installation

2002-04-08 Thread Pierre-Alexis Paquin





Hi 

I have installed a 7.1.3 postgresql version on my 
linux server. (RedHat 7.2)

When I type "createuser "it asks me 
: Shall the new user allowed to create databases (y/n)? 
  




Shall the new user allowed to create more new user (y/n)? 

I answer yes to the both questions and then a bug 
report said : 
 " psql : connetDbstart() 
-- connect() failed - no such file or directory
Is the postmaster 
running locally and accepting connections onUnix socket 
:'/tmp/.s.PSQL.5432' 
 createuser : creation of user 
'xxx' failed.

I already had answers to this but I am a newbie in linux, so i didn't 
understand what i have to do exactly to resolve this problem.

Someone wrote me : 
1. Did you initialized your database with initdb 
?
2. Have you started Postgres with postmaster 
-i or pg_ctl start ?
3. Have you modified parameters in 
$PGDATA/postgresql.conf file ?
Follow your answers, you have solved your 
problem

1.When i type initdb it said me that it's not possible to create specific 
directories (pgsql and data)
2. Howam I supposed to use the postmaster or pg_ctl ??
3. The installation is not complete so i haven't a postgresql.conf file 


Thanks for your help.
