No. Postgresql explicitly checks whether it is started as root and refuses to start otherwise. However following worked for me. 1. Change postgresql port to 80 in conf. file 2. su 3. su shridhar 4. pg_ctl -D <data dir> -L <logfile> start I am running CVS code, synced unknown days ago. But it is within last month sometime..
