hi.
i'm installing postgres and have a few questions... i can login/su as the
user 'postgres' and then 'postmaster -i -p 5432 -D /var/lib/psql/data/'.
this starts the postgres app, and i can access it from a website.
however, if i attempt to do 'service postgresql start' while i'm 'root', the
postgres db/app still starts, but i'm unable to connect to it from the
website. the same thing occurs if i try to start the postgres app from the
'gnome' gui...
the website tries to access the db as user 'gforge'. this user is different
than the user 'postgres' or the user 'root'. as i said, this works if i
start postegres from the command line as user 'postgres'.
any ides/thoughts/etc...
thanks
