In the spirit of my blog post last week, I've created a new page that shows a couple of the more common error messages that confuse newer PostgreSQL users. It is my intention to expand this over time as I see people having trouble.
If you have any error messages you feel should be included or you find any technical inaccuracies please post a comment and I'll include it on the page.

W/regards to the "root" problem, a simple hint would go far, something like, "...try the option -U postgres to connect as user postgres". An even longer explanation would not be out of line, as this is a "first impression" encounter and we want pg to look its best.
