OperationalError: FATAL: role "root" does not exist

Question

My first attempt to install a module. In the process I've got an error:
*socket.error: [Errno 98] Address already in use in OpenERP*
Tried to solve like this:
*ps aux | grep openerp
**sudo kill -9 procees id
**sudo /etc/init.d/openerp-server restart (=> this doesn't work)* Now I get an other error *OperationalError: FATAL: role "root" does not exist* and the website is down.
Can someone help me out?

Dennis,
You have to create user role for postgres.
sudo -u postgres createuser -s username
sudo su postgres
psql
alter user username with password 'password';
\q
exit
