Subject: Newbie question: cannot create database
Date: Sat, 3 Dec 1994 16:00:55 CST

Hi,
I'm new to Postgres and always get the following error message when 
trying to create a database with 'createdb bernd':

FATAL: database template1 does not exist, bailing out...

I get this message even though the directory 
$PGDATA/base/template1 does exist on my system and seems to 
contain the template database (a bunch of pg_... files). 

Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Bernd
