    Hi everybody,

    i'm trying to run the command:  sudo ./osm2postgresql_04.sh -install -osm sachsen.osm

    The script runs until i should enter my root/sudo password. I'm 100% sure that the password is correct but it is every time rejected.

    I'm trying to run the script on ubuntu 10.10

    Hi,

    sudo or su is already included in the script where it is needed. It should NOT be necessary to run sudo in:

    sudo ./osm2postgresql_04.sh
    

    In addition, I'm not sure how nested sudo's behave (apparently, not as you expect them to behave). So try to run the following instead:

    ./osm2postgresql_04.sh --install --osm sachsen.osm
    

    You will still be asked for you sudo password. For details, search for "sudo" in the script.
    Hope this helps.
