To maximize your chances of getting suggestions which are most helpful, it is better to copy and paste the specific error messages with details about what led up to each error.
Sure, I know that. It's a bit difficult though since a have used some commands that I can't really find in the history. But I'll give it a try.
First error message:
"postgres[15928]: [29993-1] FATAL: role "root" does not exist"
Created user "root" with a command like "createuser -sdrP root" (not absolutely sure).
After restart, I got the error message:
"FATAL: database "root" does not exist"
Then, from the webmin interface, I created an empty database called "root" owned by user "root" using no template.
After restart, I now got the error message:
"FATAL: connection to client lost".
I don't know if this information is of any use in this context. Of course I can provide the content of some of my configuration files. I just don't know what to look for.
