Hi
I am a novice in using postgresql and I've faced to a
problem at the beginning of my work....

I have Linux OS on my computer and it has postgresql
server but I cant use it...whenever I want to make a
table
it says that "it can not connect to the server" and it
seems it's because no user has an ID on this server...
how can I make my server work?

thnx in advance

Novice....

TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives?

Hi,
If you cannot see a postmaster running in a ps -ax list, you need :
1 - find where your data (files of the database are)
2 - Have you done an initdb ?
3 - postmaster -i -D DirectoryOfYourData -S

You must run postmaster with the owner of your data directory (postgres ?).
Depends of what kind of installation you done.

If you have used createuser you can connect with : psql -U UserCreated, in
other case try postgres like user.
