Thread: Problems setting up slony-1

Problems setting up slony-1

From
Glen Eustace
Date:
I am trying to setup slony-1 and need some off list assistance from
someone who has got things going ( or at least knows more than me :-).

I am running 7.4.6 on both master and slave but when I run the slonik
script, I get the error.

<stdin>:5: Initializing the cluster
<stdin>:7: PGRES_FATAL_ERROR create schema "_GZ"; - ERROR:  permission
denied for database admin
<stdin>:9: Could not initialize the cluster!

I am using a 'slony' user which has createdb rights but the database
admin was created by a different user.

Any assistance, as always, much appreciated.

The problem likely falls into one of two things:

 a) pg_hba.conf is configured to deny access from the host you are
    running slonik on;

 b) The 'slony' user is not a superuser which, it is quite clearly
    documented, it must be...
