No, I have the postgres server starting at boot-up and that works fine and
the "postmaster" is started as user postgres

The one thing I noticed is that with my install off of the CD I do not have
the file structure that the help pages list.
For example: the directory it is in is /var/lib/pgsql
and in that directory there is only a 'base' directory and a file telling me
I am using version 6.4
there are not all the other directories that the documents say there should
be. All of the files have to correct permissions, but there just seem to be
files missing. Is there any way to rebuild or re-install postgres without
breaking the dependency of the PHP3 module I have built into Apache?
