Hi,

These are the commands I entered:

    su postgres
    createuser phpuser
        allowed to create DB: y
        allowed to create users: y
            (saw CREATE USER)
    createdb phpdb
            (saw CREATE DATABASE)

    psql phpdb -U phpuser
            (saw psql: FATAL 1: IDENT authentication failed for user "phpuser")

Is there a step I'm missing or am I entering the commands wrong?

thanks
