Hello,
I have created PostgreSQL databases and users a number of times, but
I'm having trouble with that on a new server with Postgresql 7.3.4.
I am trying to create a DB user (createuser) and a database itself
(createdb):
bash-2.05b$ whoami
postgres
bash-2.05b$ tail -5 ~postgres/data/pg_hba.conf
host all all MY.IP.IS.HERE 255.255.255.255 md5
bash-2.05b$ createuser -h MY.IP.IS.HERE otis
Shall the new user be allowed to create databases? (y/n) n
Shall the new user be allowed to create more new users? (y/n) n
Password:
psql: FATAL: Password authentication failed for user "postgres"
createuser: creation of user "otis" failed
-- Question: what password am I supposed to enter here?
-- I suppose it's the postgres user's _DB_ password - but how do I know
what it is? I didn't set it.
bash-2.05b$ createdb -h MY.IP.IS.HERE simpydev
Password:
psql: FATAL: Password authentication failed for user "postgres"
createdb: database creation failed
-- Question: what password am I supposed to enter here?
Thank you,
Otis
