I installed PostgreSQL 7.3.4 on a red Hat Linux 8.0 system. When I try to install clusters using initdb and postmaster commands to start server and database, an error occurs:
You cannot run initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data as root. Please log in as the (unprivileged) user that will own the server process. Ok. I know that I need to log in as another Linux user to start PostgreSQL. My problem is that I need to log on as root to access another process such as Firebird. Does exist a way to start Postgre as root? I appreciate some help Best Regards __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
