Re: Authentication & connection problems

 Here's the deal. For example, when trying to connect to an existing
databas, or even
 creating a new one with the command createdb [dbname],
 different error occurs.

What errors exactly? We can't guess..

 Another example: when running the command psql,
 entering the password and hitting enter,
 the following error message occur:

 psql: FATAL:  password authentication failed for user "Christo"

Unless you created the user as "Christo" you should use christo -
postgresql is case insensitive unless you put it in quotes.

 Similarly, when testing the TCP/IP connection with the
 command psql -U DATABASENAME -W -h localhost the following message shows up
 psql: FATAL:  database "dspace" does not exist

-U is for username, not database name.

Since you're not specifying a database name, it will try to use the
same as the username (which you're passing in incorrectly).

So that's the same as:

psql -U dbname -W -h localhost dbname

which is probably not what you want.
