Hello,   I don't think you are providing the database name along with psql command as "postgres" user. bash-2.05$ psql <database name>      (  is an appropriate syntax. )   What you see is this=> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ bash-2.05$ psql psql: FATAL 1:  Database "postgres" does not exist in the system catalog. bash-2.05$ psql template1 Welcome to psql, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.   Type:  \copyright for distribution terms        \h for help with SQL commands        \? for help on internal slash commands        \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query        \q to quit   template1=# \q   ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++   regards, Rakesh P. ----- Original Message ----- From: Anagha Joshi To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 30, 2003 10:26 AM Subject: [ADMIN] postgres user Hi, I�ve installed Postgres-7.3.2 on Linux. When I�m trying to start �psql� as user �postgres�, I found error : psql: FATAL 1:  Database "postgres#" does not exist in the system catalog.   /etc/passwd shows entry like this: postgres:x:1078:1:PostgreSQL-administrator:/usr/local/pgsql:/bin/sh   Is any other setting is reqd.? Help appreciated.   Thx., Anagha
