Hi, 1. I have added listen_addresses = '*' ; in postgresql.conf 2. And have made the following changes to pg_hba.conf local DATABASE USER METHOD local samegroup all password host DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD [OPTION] host all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5 hostssl all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5 3. Have restarted the server 4. I can login to the server as user postgres. But while trying to createuser I get the following message : 'createuser: could not connect to database postgres: FATAL : password authentication failed for user "postgres" This is on Redhat running Plesk also. I am new to Linux as well as PostgreSQL. Help would be much appreciated.
