HI Paul: you would need to specify a database name such as the "template1". The "template1" database is installed by default as you install PostgreSQL.
psql <database name> If you do not specify a database name, the default database name that psql will use is 'postgresql" Regards TaChung Huang (¶À¤j©¾) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Paul Kavanagh Sent: Saturday, December 07, 2002 12:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ADMIN] Connection problem (newbie question) Hi, I've just installed Postgresql 7.3 via Cygwin on Win2K, started the postmaster successfully, yet cannot connect using psql. See below for trace: $ pg_ctl start -D /usr/share/postresql/data -l serverlog postmaster successfully started $ psql psql: 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"? I've attached my .conf. Any ideas ? Thanks in advance, -Paul ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
