When I tried to install postres95 I received the following error messages: ================================ mkdir: cannot make directory `/var/lib/postgres95/base': Permission denied mkdir: cannot make directory `/var/lib/postgres95/base/template1': No such file or directory initdb: could not create template database initdb: cleaning up. ====================================
I then created /var/lib/postgres95/base/ and /var/lib/postgres95/base/template1 manually and changed the ownership and access to postgres. That did not solve the problem. initdb would still not succeed. How should I proceed from here? Second question: How do I use the login "postgres' which was created in my /etc/passwd file by the installation-process? I cannot log in as "postgres" because I do not have the password. createuser must be run by postgres if I understand it correctly. Help will be appreciated.
