Hi, I have been stuggling in installing dspace on Ubuntu 8.10 with dspace-1.5.1, PostgreSQL8.3, Apache Ant version 1.7.1, apache-maven-2.0.10, apache-tomcat-6.0.18 with no luck.
I notice in many instruction mention that after installing PostgreSQL, created a Unix user (name it dspace). One needs to create a database user and database. In this step, one has to become 'postgres' and issue a command to create a user: createuser -U postgres -d -A -P dspace This could be done with no problem and I answer 'no' when asked: Shall the new role be allowed to create more new roles? (y/n) As postgres, I tried to create a database: createdb -U dspace -E UNICODE dspace But the command returned an error message: createdb: could not connect to database postgres: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "dspace" It is possible to create the database when I 'sudo su dspace'. This can even be done without specifying '-U dspace' in the command line. Is there anything wrong in this step ? I did do further to install the package, but finally failed. -- Panyarak On Fri, 27 Mar 2009, Ma, Wenling wrote: > Hello everyone, > I have successfully installed DSpace(version dspace-1.5.1, PostgreSQL8.3, apache-ant-1.7.1, apache-maven-2.0.10, apache-tomcat-6.0.18). -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ DSpace-tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-tech
