Hello, check your database settings in the dspace.cfg see section
_______________________________ ##### Database settings ##### # Database name ("oracle", or "postgres") db.name = ${default.db.name} #db.name = postgres #db.name = oracle # URL for connecting to database db.url = ${default.db.url} #db.url = jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/dspace # JDBC Driver db.driver = ${default.db.driver} #db.driver = org.postgresql.Driver # Database username and password db.username = ${default.db.username} db.password = ${default.db.password} #db.username = dspace #db.password = dspace ________________________________ Make sure you got the right name and password for the databaseuser of your database, e.g. your database is called "myDSpaceDatabase" and the user is called "dspaceTestUser" with the password "xyz" your settings would be db.url = jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/myDSpaceDatabase db.username = dspaceTestUser db.password = xyz Hope that helps Claudia Jürgen Am 13.07.2011 14:12, schrieb Paul Mulinge: > createdb: could not connect to database postgres: FATAL: Ident > authentication failed for user "dspace" > > where im i going wrong? > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > AppSumo Presents a FREE Video for the SourceForge Community by Eric > Ries, the creator of the Lean Startup Methodology on "Lean Startup > Secrets Revealed."
