Hi. I am trying to install and use postgresql, but it will not configure itself.
Here is what I get from the script. Setting up postgresql (7.0.2-6) ... PostgreSQL databases can be created with any one of a number of different character encodings. Please choose the default encoding, which will be used for all newly-created databases in the absence of a specific encoding specification. The choices are: SQL_ASCII ASCII EUC_JP Japanese EUC EUC_CN Chinese EUC EUC_KR Korean EUC EUC_TW Taiwan EUC UNICODE Unicode(UTF-8) MULE_INTERNAL Mule internal LATIN1 ISO 8859-1 English and some European languages LATIN2 ISO 8859-2 English and some European languages LATIN3 ISO 8859-3 English and some European languages LATIN4 ISO 8859-4 English and some European languages LATIN5 ISO 8859-5 English and some European languages KOI8 KOI8-R WIN Windows CP1251 ALT Windows CP866 Enter default encoding (UNICODE): Now installing the PostgreSQL database files in /var/lib/postgres/data su postgres -c cd /var/lib/postgres; . ./.profile; initdb --encoding UNICODE --pglib /usr/lib/postgresql/lib --pgdata /var/lib/postgres/data --sysid 31 Could not determine current user name. You are really hosed. dpkg: error processing postgresql (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: postgresql Any assistance would be appreciated. -- John Covici [EMAIL PROTECTED]
