<h2>Creating the Web User for the Database</h2>
<p>On your database server you will need to create a user called
'general' which should not be able to create databases or users,
'davical_app' which should not be able to create databases or users,
and which will be granted minimum privileges for the application.</p>
<pre>
createuser --no-createdb --no-createrole general
createuser --no-createdb --no-createrole davical_app
</pre>
<p>PostgreSQL 7.4 named things slightly differently, so you
should use something like:</p>
<pre>
createuser --no-createdb --no-adduser general
createuser --no-createdb --no-adduser davical_app
</pre>
<p>You may need to become the 'postgres' user to do this, in which case
you will need to be the postgres user to create the database as well.
For example (for PostgreSQL 8.x):</p>
<pre>
su postgres -c createuser --no-createdb --no-createrole general
su postgres -c createuser --no-createdb --no-createrole davical_app
