I'm currently trying to run postgresql (9.3) on my iMac but I have some issues with user postgres and psql connection.
I bought an iMac old generation (with snow Leopard) that was migrated to Lion. As followed on other StackOverflow topics I added this line on my .bash_profile :
export PATH=/Library/PostgreSQL/9.3/bin:/usr/bin:$PATH
When launching pg :
sudo su postgres -c '/Library/PostgreSQL/9.3/bin/pg_ctl -D /Library/PostgreSQL/9.3/data/ -m fast start'
it returns :
su: unknown login: postgres
What should I do ?
OSX 10.8和10.9中的默认postgres用户应为_postgres
,可以使用sudo -u _postgres
来运行命令
I got this same error ( su: unknown login: postgres
) when trying sudo su - postgres
. I then managed to log in using sudo psql -U my.username postgres
.
I could then create the appropriate users, etc.
Hope that helps.
Try to start from current user:
/Library/PostgreSQL/9.3/bin/pg_ctl -D /Library/PostgreSQL/9.3/data/ -l /usr/local/var/postgres/server.log start
