Re: Starting PostgreSQL server as root - Mailing list pgsql-admin
You don't have to LOGOUT and LOGIN again as another user, you just do: # su <user> #su postgres The postgres must exist and this is who will own the database. Regards, MAGO -------Mensaje original------- Fecha: Jueves, 31 de Julio de 2003 05:03:08 p.m. Asunto: [ADMIN] Starting PostgreSQL server as root When I tried to mount database (using initdb command), following error appear: You cannot run initdb as root. Please log in as the (unprivileged) user that will own the server process. I read at Postgre documentation, and I need to log on as another user and strt process. This is my problem, I check another services and processes as root user, if I use another user to manage Postgre, another appliactions crashes. Does exist a way to start Postgre as root? I appreciate some help. Best Regards __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
