I have another problem with postgresql 8.1. I have uninstalled the
postgresql-8.3 and removed its configuration files, and the user postgres
also. Then installed postgresql-8.1. But when I started to create a
database, it shows some message like this..
Here is the output I got:-
-----------------------------------------------------
localhost:/home/user# su - postgres
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/lib/postgresql/8.1/bin/initdb -D
/var/lib/postgresql/data
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale en_IN.
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to UTF8.

initdb: directory "/var/lib/postgresql/data" exists but is not empty
If you want to create a new database system, either remove or empty
the directory "/var/lib/postgresql/data" or run initdb
with an argument other than "/var/lib/postgresql/data".
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/lib/postgresql/8.1/bin/pg_ctl -D
/var/lib/postgresql/data -l logfile start
postmaster starting
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/lib/postgresql/8.1/bin/createdb test
createdb: could not connect to database postgres: could not connect to
server: No such file or directory
        Is the server running locally and accepting
        connections on Unix domain socket
"/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
-----------------------------------------------------
Why it can't connect to server? How can I resolve it??
