LKBEN10939: Postgres does not work after installation.


Symptom

I cannot connect to the newly installed postgres instance.

Cause

This is by design, you have take a few actions before it functions.

Solution

Switch to user postgres by the command: "su postgres". Now you can create a user and a database for use. After this action you can connect with psql by using the normal useraccount.
