mmm i think you're right and it's not the same installation as i have
not defined the PGDATA environment variable yet, so i don't know what
he started at boot time...(i run the db with the -D option right now)<br>
<br>
another thing i forgot to say is that the first time i put the data
folder in my user home(/home/alex/.postgres/data) instead of
/usr/local/pgsql/data/ ...but user postgres should be a SU so it
shouldn't make any difference, or am i wrong? <br>
then i changed the folder to /usr/local/pgsql/data/ but pgadmin refused
still to connect. Only after i slaughtered /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.1 i
was able to connect with pgadmin...<br>
<br>
thx<br>

Subject: Re: [pgadmin-support] weird problem with pgadmin &amp; postgres on debian

ok, i fixed it by removing the postmaster daemon from init.d and starting postgres manually every time i need it, don't now why but it works, maybe it's a problem of user rights, but i'm too noob to know :P

----------------------------------------------------------------

hello there,

(it's the first time i use a mailing list...wow!)
So, here's my problem:

I've installed postgresql on debian as well as pgadmin(everything updated to last version).
Now, when i try to access my server on localhost with pgadmin, i cannot enter because it asks me the password. But i have no password, as it's just a first-time learning-purpose install! If i simply leave the password field empty, it rejects my login(
"Error connecting to the server: fe_sendauth: no password supplied"
). But, if i try to access the server with 'psql testdatabase' from a terminal, i am able to enter, and work normally.

I've also installed postgresql &amp; pgadmin on windows xp (database different from the linux one) and pgadmin acts normally, letting me login and managing databases without any problem.

What's wrong?

thx
