Although I think you were reading the install from source docs. Better off checking the RPM part and the docs from the RPM distribution (postgresql-doc I think). Also you may whish to install postgresql-devel and/or other devel packages to be able to use it with python/php/perl/etc. | Thank You | Cheers | Neil Thompson | | -----Original Message----- | From: Radu-Adrian Popescu [mailto:radu.popescu@aldratech.com] | Sent: 07 May 2004 10:30 | To: Neil.Thompson@shepway.gov.uk | Cc: pgsql-admin@postgresql.org | Subject: Re: [ADMIN] problem trying to su - postgres | | | Neil.Thompson@shepway.gov.uk wrote: | | I'm a newbie to all things linux and have the following problem | | | | running red hat linux 9 i log into my pc, change to su - and type the | | password, all is ok and i get root@localhost <mailto:root@localhost> | | | | I'm trying now to configure postgresql, which i installed with linux and | | it says to su - postgres, i do this but instead of getting | | postgres@localhost <mailto:postgres@localhost> i get -bash-2.05b$ , is | | this right? or do i need to reinstall something / update something? | | | | It is correct. You can also do a "whoami": | [postgres@rpopescu postgres]$ whoami | postgres | [root@rpopescu root]# whoami | root | The prompt setting may be different on you machine. | | | Using the graphical interface i've tried to add postgres as a user as it | | doesnt show, but it says user postgres already exists. | | | | You don't specify how you've installed postgresql. On redhats you can get it | from the installation disks. It's an older version that the current, | obviously, | but it looks like you're trying to get started with it, and therefore it | should | do. So your best bet is to try to install it from the RPMs, since it's | easier | than compiling it from source (not that that would be a killer or anything, | but | not something a newbie should be doing from day one imho). | So step back, take a deep breath, run as root | rpm -qa | grep postgres | and if that comes up with 3-5 packages, you're almost done. If not, mount | the | cdroms and install postgresql from there (rpm -i postgresql-*.rpm). | Have you checked the docs on the main website yet ? | | | An help would be greatfully received. | | | | Thanks | | | | *Neil Thompson | | Analyst/Programmer* | | | | Regards and best of luck, | -- | Radu-Adrian Popescu | CSA, DBA, Developer | Aldratech Ltd. | +40213212243 - -- Radu-Adrian Popescu CSA, DBA, Developer Aldratech Ltd. +40213212243 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFAm4FcVZmwYru5w6ERAhUoAJ94w4ZmFmJUhcSJydSUxdn/VfJwjQCdEE/4 EW9lcGQ0CpQmfr3SE0+hOXE= =l1AO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
