Обсуждение: Invalid User ID: 0
Anyone, I am troubled on logging on to my postgresql running under Cygwin. Postmaster says, "Fatal: Invalid User ID 0" after connecting.I know for sure that the username that I am using to log is existing. Thinking that having a new user will solve the problem,I tried creating a new user but same error was displayed. I tried working on psql in the hope that I can connect to postgresqlbut the same has occured. I checked the Postmaster if it can determine the availability of the database in the system catalog by logging on to a non-existing database and the Postmaster says, "Fatal: database "foo" does not exist in the system catalog". But as I triedto connect to an existing database, "Invalid User ID 0" showed up. It seems to me that pgsql users' database have been corrupted. BTW, postmaster started without errors. Your guiding ideas and tips are highly appreciated. PS. The database that I am trying to connect to is a production database working for 3 days and in a snap back-up cannotbe created due to the above problem. Hope anyone of you can help.

What account is the postmaster service running under? Postgres or someother account? What version of postgres and windows is this running on?

> What account is the postmaster service running under? Postgres or someother account? Not postgres but a different account. The same username used during the "initdb" process. As for your information, the said account/username can get into any of my local database without problems. Only yesterday when I tried to connect to template1or to any local database that it displayed the "Fatal: Invalid User ID: 0" for some reason that I dont know of. Is there any way we can execute a user-defined BKI so we could probably add new account in both pg_shadow and pg_user? > What version of postgres and windows is this running on? I am using postgresql 7.4 on top of Cygwin 2.416 running under Win 98SE. Kumusta, Howard. > > I am troubled on logging on to my postgresql running under Cygwin.
