Hi,

These are the commands I entered:

su postgres
createuser phpuser
allowed to create DB: y
allowed to create users: y
(saw CREATE USER)
createdb phpdb
(saw CREATE DATABASE)

psql phpdb -U phpuser
(saw psql: FATAL 1: IDENT authentication failed for user "phpuser")

Is there a step I'm missing or am I entering the commands wrong?

thanks
