Hello, For a short description, I'll just show the sequence of commands I'm trying to execute:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]> initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]> postgres -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -i -p 5435 [EMAIL PROTECTED]> createdb foo -p 5435 createdb: could not connect to database foo: FATAL: database "foo" does not exist And "postgres -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -i -p 5435"'s output: /* LOG: database system was shut down at 2007-07-27 11:25:27 BRT LOG: checkpoint record is at 0/42C4B4 LOG: redo record is at 0/42C4B4; undo record is at 0/0; shutdown TRUE LOG: next transaction ID: 0/593; next OID: 10820 LOG: next MultiXactId: 1; next MultiXactOffset: 0 LOG: database system is ready FATAL: database "foo" does not exist */ Now, am I doing something terribly wrong/noobish, or Postgres is freaking out because I want to create a database that does not exist? Thanks in advance, ~Paolo
