Thread: unable to add users

Hi all,
    I was just trying to add some users to my database....i followed the
createuser help and gave the following command
[root]#/usr/local/pgsql/bin/createuser -ADe epsadmin
I get the following error.....
createuser: could not connect to database template1: FATAL:  could not open
file "/usr/local/pgsql/data/global/1262": Permission denied

Any help on this really appreciable.

With Best Regards,
Pradeep Kumar P.J

Looks like you started the postmaster as the wrong user (ie, not the
account that owns the database files).
