I am using SuSE 8.0 Professional Linux and installing postresql 7.4 by placing the tar files in /temp and untar and unzip and followed the short install procedure. Log in as root ./ configure gmake gmake install useradd mkdir /usr/local/pgsql/data chown postgres /usr/local/pgsql/data su postgres /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data ""same as above"" >logfile 2>&1 &
At this point I checked the last 2 lines to enter and was told I do not have the password for the postges sence it is not a person but a program it should not ask for the password. Have not had sucess to call up the program or to finish the last 2 lines. /usr/local/pgsql/bin/createdb test /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pgsql test What can I do to finish the last 2 lines and call up the potgres or pgsql? _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
