PostgreSQL anyone?

[tycho]

ok, im new to PostgreSQL... i emerged it just fine, but when i try todo anything to it i ge the error:

psql: could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

now from what ive read in the docs, that error means that the server was not started, or it was not started where the cmd expected it. i checked to make sure that it had in fact started, which it was, but what else do i need to configure so i can start using it? is there a conf file somewhere that i haev overlooked? any help would be greatly appreciated.

not sure, but try running postmaster with the -i flag.

what you need to do is this:

ebuild /var/db/pkg/dev-db/postgresql-7.2-r2/postgresql-7.2-r2.ebuild config

After the emerge of postgresql, it doesn't automatically run the config and set up it's initial database.

Hope this helps!
