Hi,
I'm using Postgresql 8.7.3 on Debian. I was trying to launch the postgresql server to create a simple user and a database, but I've got this output:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
jc:/usr/local/pgsql/data1# su - postgres
postgres@jc:~$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl start -l logfile -D /usr/local/pgsql/data1/data/
server starting
postgres@jc:~$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/createuser radius --no-superuser --no-createdb --no-createrole -P
Enter password for new role:
Enter it again:
createuser: could not connect to database postgres: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've search the web and seen some people saying to uncomment a line in the postgresql.conf file ("tcpip_socket = true") but I don't have this line! I'm not understanding what's wrong, why can't I create an user, supposedly the server is running..
Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong?
Thank you,
Joana Camacho.
