I followed the instructions for setting up postgresql from this site
All seems to go fine until I try:
createuser –superuser myname -U
postgres
I get the following exception:
createuser: could not connect to
database postgres: could not connect
to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and
accepting connections on Unix domain
socket “/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432”?
For the life of me I can’t figure out how to resolve this. Any ideas???
I had to remove the existing postgres user before doing the install.
