In order to lauch createuser you don't need to modify listen_address
since you can use unix sockets. But anyway it's a requirement if you are
goint to access remotely.
Add this line in first place to your pg_hba.conf
local all postgres ident sameuser
Reload postgresql and launch createuser as postgres user.

Hi,
1. I have added listen_addresses = '*' ; in postgresql.conf
2. And have made the following changes to pg_hba.conf
local DATABASE USER METHOD
local samegroup all password
host DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD [OPTION]
host all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5
hostssl all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5
3. Have restarted the server
4. I can login to the server as user postgres.
But while trying to createuser I get the following message :
'createuser: could not connect to database postgres: FATAL :
password authentication failed for user "postgres"
This is on Redhat running Plesk also.
I am new to Linux as well as PostgreSQL. Help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Viv
