Hi Folks,

CentOS 5.5 - Postgresql 8.4

Installed - startet

try to

createuser -d- -a -p username

get message

could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.0"?

-p is the port number. you seem to have convinced it to use port 0 which obviously isn't correct

if you want to use tcp, you would specify a hostname via -h

thought the -p option is for "password".

But problem is solved: reinstalled Postgresql - now it works like it should

Thx Timothy
