I am having a bit of trouble geting PostgreSQL working quite corectly on my fresh
Debian "stable" istall.
I installed it using the Debina dselect tool. Now, If I su - postgres, I can use
psql to connect to the db, so I know that that part of the install went OK. However
I am having a problem adding users. See below:
Script started on Fri Apr 13 09:50:33 2001
postgres@yogi:~$ psql
Welcome to psql, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
Type: \copyright for distribution terms
\h for help with SQL commands
\? for help on internal slash commands
\g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
\q to quit
template1=# \q
postgres@yogi:~$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/createuser
Enter name of user to add: stan
Shall the new user be allowed to create databases? (y/n) y
Shall the new user be allowed to create more new users? (y/n) y
psql: connectDBStart() -- connect() failed: No such file or directory
Is the postmaster running locally
and accepting connections on Unix socket '/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432'?
createuser: creation of user "stan" failed
postgres@yogi:~$
Script done on Fri Apr 13 09:51:13 2001
Any sugestions as to what I can do to fix this?
