After installing you NEED to create a user, this hasn't got to be the same name of your unix user but most normally it will be. For example if your Unix username is bhoffmann. su - root //Enter password su - postgres //Enter as postgresql superuser and no password will be needed as you were root createuser bhoffmann exit exit //now you are bhoffmann again type "whoami" to check createdb mydb //Creates a db as user bhoffmann, you can also use "createbd mydb -U bhoffmann" psql mydb etc Let us know if it worked. > > I'm rootuser :) Adrian Tineo
