I followed http://zetcode.com/db/postgresqlpythontutorial/.
I used: sudo -u postgres createuser stressTest this create the role, but also gave: could not change directory to "/root": Permission denied and I did not get the questions. Then I used: sudo -u postgres createdb stressTest -O stressTest This gave also: could not change directory to "/root": Permission denied The database is created, but when I execute: conn = psycopg2.connect(database = postgres_database, user = 'stressTest') I get: psycopg2.OperationalError: FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user "stressTest" What do I need to do to get things working? -- Cecil Westerhof Senior Software Engineer LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/cecilwesterhof -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
