Configuring Postgres database

These are instructions for setting up NNTPChan with Postgres as the data-storage system.

##Configuring Postgres

Setting up postgres (as root)

# become postgres user
su postgres
# spawn postgres admin shell
psql 

You'll get a prompt, enter the following:

CREATE ROLE srnd WITH LOGIN PASSWORD 'srnd';
CREATE DATABASE srnd WITH ENCODING 'UTF8' OWNER srnd;
\q

For demo purposes we'll use these credentials. These are default values, please change them later.

###Important

These credentials assume you are going to run using a user called srnd, if your username you plan to run the daemon as is different please change srnd to your username.
