[GeoNode-users] Database and user "geonode" do not exist after apt-get installation [fixed]

[Gi Petrak]

I 'd like to post an issue that I had with apt-get Installation of GeoNode
2.4
and I fixed with the hope of helping someone else with the same problem.
After creating a clean and fresh Ubuntu 14.04 remote VM, I installed
geonode with apt-get:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:geonode/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install geonode

But when I executed the following commands:
geonode createsuperuser
sudo geonode-updateip 127.0.0.1

I had errors like:
2017-01-31 22:15:58 EET FATAL:  password authentication failed for user
"geonode"
2017-01-31 22:15:58 EET DETAIL:  Connection matched pg_hba.conf line 94:
"host
2017-01-31 22:54:31 EET FATAL:  role "user" does not exist
2017-01-31 22:54:49 EET FATAL:  database "geonode" does not exist

So, I realized that geonode user and database didn't exist. Thus, I
followed the custom procedure of creating GeoNode DB:
http://docs.geonode.org/en/master/tutorials/install_and_admin/geonode_install/create_geonode_db.html

and finally I ran: sudo python manage.py syncdb -noinput

After these steps, problem solved.
