Ok I'm and old pro at SQL (DB2, Access) but a total Linux/Unix idiot.
I have Mandrake RedHat Linux and think I have postgresql installed.
At the shell I type
psql template1
Linux complains
connectDB() failed: Is postmaster running and accepting conections at
'UNIX SOCKET' on port 5432
Being a near complete Linux idiot I have no clue what this means.
Anybody care to help?
Thanks
