Thread: Re: [pgfsupport - Help] RE: A big red x
Thanks Tom,
Guys,
Let me start at the beginning. I am sure that I am not going to say this efficiently.
I have installed the latest Windows version of PostgreSQL. Everything looks wonderful. The installation process created a guest account Postgres with a password. However from my system adminstrator account I cannot see the Postgres account. However if I try to create such an account, the system says it already exists.
Further, When I go to the services panel it informs me that PostgreSQL is Running.
However after I logoff the System Administrator account and successfully logon to the Postgres account and bring up PGAmin III my singular postgresql database folder has a big red X on it.
I then double click on the DB folder and a box comes up and asks me for a password. I then reply with of course every password I used during the installation and then I try every password I have ever used. Result: nothing.
I cannot believe that this is simpl y a forgotten pw. Unfortunately i am not smart enough yet to unravel all of your suggestions about permissions and service accounts and sockets.
However if you could lead me in the correct direction I will try to get over these last hurdles

I'm not at my XP box but it's something like Start->Programs->PostgreSQL8->pgsql command.
