This is the stupidest thing ever and I'm sure I'm missing something
simple, but here goes:
I installed postgres and started it up as the post-installation-notes
file says to do. It starts up just fine, but I cannot log into the
interactive monitor, nor can I create any databases, even as root. I
checked the pg_hba.conf file and it is set to let all local users log
in. Whenver I type:
psql
to try and log in, I get FATAL 1: Database "username" does not exist in
the system catalog. I've used pgsql before, but never installed it, so I
assume I missed something stupid, but looking back through the docs I'm
still missing it. Can anyone help me? Thanks,
Joe
