Hello everyone -

I am in the process of installing booki (on Ubuntu 11.10) and I ran into a problem when attempting to synchronize the database. I am following the instructions from the Managing a Floss Manuals website manual.

Software versions
Django 1.3
Postgresql 9.1
Python 2.7

I ran "django-admin.py syncdb" as the fm user. The resulting traceback message is shown below. It looks like postgresql is expecting a password but I didn't create a password when I created the database. I would appreciate any advice with how to proceed with figuring out this issue - I am new to both Django and Postgresql. Thanks in advance for the help.

$ django-admin.py syncdb
