Hi, thanks for the attention and help.
Actually, my installation didn't create the *".conf"* files. What i have are the *".conf.sample"*, created at *"/usr/pgsql-9.5/share"* directory, so i created a copy of the "postgresql.conf" and "pg_hba.conf" and edited as follows: *[root@vm-ora12 share]# cat postgresql.confdata_directory = '/usr/pgsql-9.5/share'hba_file = '/usr/pgsql-9.5/share/pg_hba.conf'ident_file = '/usr/pgsql-9.5/share/pg_ident.conf'* *[root@vm-ora12 share]# cat pg_hba.conflocal all all trusthost all all 127.0.0.1/32 <http://127.0.0.1/32> trusthost all all ::1/128 trusthost all all 0.0.0.0/0 <http://0.0.0.0/0> md5* After these changes, i restarted the service and i tryied to to create the DB, still without success. Thanks again for the patience. 2016-12-02 15:03 GMT-03:00 Joshua D.
