Re: problem with connecting to postgresql server

Hi,
If you cannot see a postmaster running in a ps -ax list, you need :
1 - find where your data (files of the database are)
2 - Have you done an initdb ?
3 - postmaster -i -D DirectoryOfYourData -S

You must run postmaster with the owner of your data directory (postgres ?).
Depends of what kind of installation you done.

If you have used createuser you can connect with : psql -U UserCreated, in
other case try postgres like user.
