just installed the postgresql addon but cant seem to login....
cannot find an error log file....dont know where it is located so i can examine...
do i have to have a postegresql database server insatalled first and then the addon ?
please help

Hi,
you have to start postgresql : /opt/lampp/postgresql start

then login:
user: root
pw: lampp

correct me if i am wrong.... the actual server of postgresql is inside the addon...just like mysqld ....and i have to start it....

/--------------------------------------------/

this happens when i try to start postgresql


$ ./postgresql start
Starting PostgreSQL
This account is currently not available.

what seems to be the problem?

after that i try to login but....nothing happens...i get login failed

Thanx in advance

Hi.

I have the same problem.. I'm waiting an answer, when I got it, I'll send it to you, ok?

See you then....

Hi Kris

That's what I did, but I have the same problem ¡¡


It looks like this:

[root@colivaresc etc]#
[root@colivaresc etc]# /opt/lampp/lampp startpostgresql
Starting PostgreSQL
This account is currently not available.
[root@colivaresc etc]#

I have other postgresql application, but I've stoped it before I start the lampp one.

So, what I can do?

Hi all

I've got the same problem (xamp1.5 / addon postgresql 1.0)

I saw that the last post was very old, hoping that there is an solution now for this issue.

TIA

I guess PostgreSQL can't be launched by root

I do not lauch PG with lampp, I use this command instead :

Code: Select all

sudo -u postgresql /opt/lamp/bin/postmaster -D /opt/lamp/var/pgsql/data/
