Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Dropping database in Postgres

To create a db user, "su postgres" and then "createuser". You are right that it is more of a conceptual problem than the system problem. You might want to consider reading all the documentations carefully before you post questions.

As the words on the RPM page says, the RPMs are intended to facilitate quick re-installation of OpenACS for those who already read / understand the documentations.

So please do some reading.

Sincerely,
