Okay, if you run "ps ax" do you have a line reading something like "/usr/bin/postmaster -S -D/var/lib/pgsql -i"?. Second, if you do "ls /var/lib/pgsql/base" (as root), do you see a subdirectory called template1?

Anderson Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [GENERAL] Environmental Variables I uninstalled and reinstalled the packages. I got the following response to my command "createdb mydb" (from my account "dckinder"): "Connection to database 'template1' failed. conectDB() -- connect() failed: No such file or directory Is the postmaster running at 'localhost' and accepting connections on Unix socket '5432'?" This is a single Redhat box. I am not connecting it over a network. I have access to root. Regards, Duncan C. Kinder [EMAIL PROTECTED]
