Following this web page, I have tried to create a new role/user, but to no avail.
After typing the following command : createuser --interactive --pwprompt I get the following questions:
Enter name of role to add: company_name Enter password for new role: xxxxxxx Enter it again: xxxxxxx Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) y
Than this error is displayed : createuser: error: connection to server on socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432" failed: FATAL: role "my_debian_login_account_name" does not exist
However, this issue is not really relevant, per se, since I am able to create roles once I log in PostgreSQL-15. Nonetheless, if the service exist, why not usu it. If the services exist and is not working, could it be that there is a problem that will come apparent later on, when unlike now, it would be during a critical moment. Thus the question, what can I do to resolve this issue? Is there something I am missing?
createuser has to login to the server to do its work. Whatever credentials or method you use to connect via psql (usually via sudo and the postgres o/s user) you need to use here as well.
