Dear Sir or Madam, I have downloaded and installed the latest PostgreSQL version V9.2 to my Windows 7 OS PC. I want to have it running on my PC, as local host.
Now I am facing some problems. 1.) I do not know, how to fill in the properties tab for the server, as name, host (what shall be host, shall I put there localhost or 127.0.0.1?), service field, Maintenance DB field (can it be named as postgres?)? And, what shall I put as user name? And password? Is there something predefined? Or how and where shall I change it? In which conf file? It does not accept what I add there .... I want to have it as simple as possible, I want to connect my PHP scripts with the PostgreSQL DB on my PC. 2.) Via the psql console, I can not login myself .... I want to create tables etc., but I need to overcome the connection and login procedure and again, I do not know what to put there, as it does not accept what I enter there ... Server [localhost]: What to put here? Database [postgres]: What to put here? Port [5432]: What to put here? Username [postgres]: What to put here? Password: What to put here? The message returned is for example this: psql: could not translate host name "Tomas" to address: Unknown server error Press any key to continue ... 3.) There are also some .conf files, like postgresql.conf, pg_hba.conf, pgpass.conf. What shall I put there? I played with that, but it does not work, I want to have it simple. Do you have any examples of configuration, what shall I put everywhere, so that it works? Thank you very much in advance Best regards Tomas
