Hi,
I got it up and running with:
[root@localhost init.d]# ./postgresql start
Initializing database: [ OK ]
Starting postgresql service: [ OK ]
But now I want to create a database, but I cannot do this with the root
user. What is the best way to do this?
I tried with user postgresql but what password to use?
createdb --username=postgresql mydb
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Bart
