Hi there I am having a problem with Postres initial setup and would REALLY appreciate your help. I'm not sure if I have screwed up a config file or maybe not set something necessary in a config file. I set RH 5.1 linux to use Postgress on startup and have had difficulty interpreting the actual bits of the docs in /urs/doc/... on how to actually get the thing configured. On trying to use the createdb command I get the message: Connection to database 'template1' failed. ERROR: cannot read block 0 of pg_shadow createdb: database creation failed on ian. I have set PGDATA and PGLIB env variables well enough to be able to run the initdb command. I would (again) REALLY appreciate your help with this initial setup. I have used mSQL at home and at school both as an administrator and user and am comfortable doing both. I am just a bit stumped at the moment. -- Ian A. Marsman [EMAIL PROTECTED]
