I am running Postgres 9.1

I have followed the howto here:

I am attempting to replicate an existing database.

On the Master, I get the following error in the postgres log file:

FATAL:  must be replication role to start walsender


On the slave I get this:
FATAL:  could not connect to the primary server: FATAL:  must be replication
role to start walsender

I have googled both of those log entries to no avail.

note that the sender process on the master is not running.

What simple step am I missing?
What have you got primary_conninfo set to on the standby in
recovery.conf?  Are you trying to use a regular user?  If so, you will
have to grant it REPLICATION permissions on the primary, which was
introduced in 9.1.



The primary_conninfo in the recovery.conf is set to :
primary_conninfo      = 'host=192.168.127.12 port=5432 user=postgres'

So I should just have to grant the postgres user REPLICATION permissions, and be good?
