Re: postgres password

You cannot use the postgres account without some tweaks, Sorry I don't remember where I found this info - somewhere in the pgadmin install docs.

 

Create a new superuser with a password, add connectivity to the pg_hba.conf file if needed and pgadmin should work fine

You may or may not need to set one depending on how you configure pg_hba.conf ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to majordomo@postgresql.org so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
