Ah, I didn't catch the fact that you where not doing it as the super
user (postgres)
For another account to work you need to grant that account the createdb
right.
Look up in the docs about the grant command.
Glad to hear you have it working.

Home of PG Lightning Admin for Postgresql 8.x
The command you gave createdb.exe -h 127.0.0.1 -U
postgres mydb is working.
The system gives me the result CREATE DATABASE.
Looking into pgadminiii shows the database is created.
Doing the same with my user account is not working.
