The backend (postgres binary executable) works fine, but I cannot run createdb , or monitor. Both exit with an error message something like: Could not connect to backend (Port = 4321). createdb failed for database foo. I suspect that the problem may be that tcp/ip loopback may not be set up properly ... I'm sure there is a document *somewhere* telling me how to set this up - could someone please tell me where?! (Or that the problem lies elsewhere). Thanks, Tim. ________________________________________________ | | | From Tim Wadsworth: Tim.Wadsworth@brunel.ac.uk | |________________________________________________|
