If RH is automatically starting the server (see in /etc/rc.d/init.d or /etc/init.d) it will do something like "su - postgres -c ..." in the startup script. If you don't know the password for postgres, su - to root first then su - postgres from there. - Richard Huxton
On redhat, if you used the rpms you can start postgres by cd /etc/rc.d/init.d ./postgresql start You should set it to start automatically using the gnome configurator Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lee Johnson" <lee@imyourhandiman.com> To: <pgsql-general@postgresql.org> Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2001 11:57 AM Subject: [GENERAL] can't start as root > trying ( new at this ) to start postmaster so i can utilize pgaccess to > create database etc. but even if I start desktop as user other than > "root" it still gives me the "root" error that I can't start as user > root...... > > RH 7.1 current/gnome 1.4 current > > thanks > lee > > > > ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- > TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to majordomo@postgresql.org >
