Help...
I have to be the first to admit that I am no Linux expert, or indeed SQL admin. I am much more at home with Cisco switches and routers. But I have been asked to set up a Linux machine and follow the instructions attached.
However they are for a slightly different version of bio-linux (a pre built boot able distribution based on ubenta) to the instructions and the version of postgreSQL is version 8.
My problem is that I am not sure first how to set up the config files, and second adding the users, (so not got any where very far!)
I will attach the config files tomorrow, as I cant get hold of them right now. however i simple took the .sample files and renamed them with out the .sample
Now when I change to the "postgres" user as suggested and try to create the users i get an error saying it can't connect or the service is not running??
Any one have any ideas or fancy giving me a bit of help, I now this might be a bit of an issues so if nessery I will be breaking it down in to several questions.
Thank you

OK...
I still gettign to grips with the commands in linux so I will have to look in to that,
One thing I dont get is the ability to update config files. every time I try to edit them (either through a terminal or via the pgadminIII tool) i get the error that I dont have permissions to write the file.
now i know this is becasue root owns the files, but how can i open PGAadmin with to correct privilages, and /or open a config file with root?

You have to start postgersql using script in /etc/init.d
You can see large SHM segment with one process attached in ipcs -a if it is running.
First thing first - you have to do "initdb" to create initial DB
Then you have to check if you have it listening on IP - netstat -an | grep 5432
