Getting started with first user.

2018-01-09 Thread Agnar Renolen
I have just installed PostGIS (Postgres9.6) on a Debian server using
apt-get.

But I have problems doing anything:

I installed as root, but trying doing things as my local user "me"

me> createuser me
createuser: could not connect to database postgres: FATAL: role "me" does
not exist

Then, trying the same as root, but gettinge the same result.

root> createuser me
createuser: could not connect to database postgres: FATAL: role "root" does
not exist

Then trying with the -U postgres option.

root> createuser -U postgres me
createuser: could not connect to database postgres: FATAL: Peer
authentication failed for user "postgres"

How do I get started?

Found out a way out.

Logged in as *root*, and created a password for the *postgres* user.

Then logged in as *postgres* and and ran "createuser -s me".

Then logging in as *me*, ran "createdb"
