Hi all!
I have installed Mandrake 9.0. and postgresql is installed automatically.
When I start postgresql by the command:
postmaster -i
have a error message:

The server must be started under an unprivileged user id to prevent
a possible system security compromise.  See the documentation for
more information on how to properly start the server.

With Mandrake 8.0, I do nothing to config postgresql. So what I can do to
config it now? Please help me! thank you very much.

How about executing:

# /etc/init.d/postgresql start

What happens then?

Is this an RPM install or a .tar.gz install?

If an RPM install, try, as root:

service pgsql start

Note that pgsql may not be the name, it could be something else.  look for
a file in /etc/rc.d/init.d with a name that seems like postgresql and
substitute it for pgsql above.

If it is a tar.gz install, you'll have to create an account (or use one
that already exists) to 'initdb', set PGDATA and 'pg_ctl start' or
'postmaster -i -D datadir'

You must specify the directory that contains the database system
either by specifying the -D invocation option or by setting the
PGDATA environment variable.

After install PG and run it, you have to su postgres, and then
..$createuser xxxx
password: xxxx
best you choose your 'normal'user-account (name), pw can be another.
This PG-user has root-privilege on PG. Then you can adduser or create
DBs as normal user. To start/stop PG, use
root# /etc/init.d/postgresql [start/stop/restart...]

Hi all!
I had started postgresql perfecly, thank you very much.
After I start postgresql with command:
/etc/init.d/postgresql start
and I created a database: "waterdb" and a user: "trantu" with
password "xxxx".Then I installed phpPgAdmin 3.0.1 with following lines in
config.inc.php:
$conf['servers'][0]['desc'] = 'gis-iti';
$conf['servers'][0]['host'] = '10.6.1.61'; // or ''
$conf['servers'][0]['port'] = 5432;
$conf['servers'][0]['defaultdb'] = 'waterdb';

When I run phpPgAdmin and login with the user "postgres" or "trantu", all
are failed. I had try to start postgres with command:
postmaster -i
and run phpPgAdmin but there is no change.
Please hepl me!

Error messages?
PostgreSQL logs?
Apache, or PHP logs?
Did you check your pg_hba.conf file to see if you have access to that database
from the IP you have the Apache running?

Login as the postgres user to phpPgAdmin user, and create a new user for
yourself.

Also, set a password for the postgres user.

Then, edit your pg_hba.conf and set password access to 'md5', not 'trust'.

Hi all!
I have installed Mandr
ake 9.0. and postgresql is installed automatically. 
When I start postgresql by the command: 
postmaster -i
have a error message:

The server must be started under an unprivileged user id to prevent
a possible system security compromise.  See the documentation for
more information on how to properly start the server.   

With Mandrake 8.0, I do nothing to config postgresql. So what I can do to 
config it now? Please help me! thank you very much.

Hi all.
I edited pg_hba.conf and I had loged-in successfully from phpPgAdmin
3.0.1 but at the left frame of its have a warning and a error:

Warning: Failed opening 'classes/HTML_TreeMenu/TreeMenu.php' for
inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php/:/usr/lib/php/pear/')
in /var/www/html/phpPgAdmin/browser.php on line 15

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: html_treemenu
in /var/www/html/phpPgAdmin/browser.php on line 22

I try to install phpPgAdmin 2.4.2 and there is no error. What can I do
next?

Now that is very weird.

'.' is in your include path, so it shouldn't have any problem including the
files ???

Does the classes/HTML_TreeMenu/TreeMenu.php directory exist for you?  What
is your PHP version?

I list the packages have been installed in my system:

mod_php-4.2.3-1mdk
php-ldap-4.2.3-1mdk
php-4.2.3-1mdk
php-imap-4.2.3-1mdk
php-pgsql-4.2.3-1mdk
php-common-4.2.3-1mdk
php-gd-4.2.3-1mdk
php-mysql-4.2.3-1mdk
php-readline-4.2.3-1mdk

I checked the path access to php-libs:
/usr/lib/php/extensions
so I have added it to path_include of php.ini file but there is same
error. It must have something wrong with php-lib but I don't know. Please
help me.

I'm sorry for my silly. I used SSH service to connect the host and it has
changed the name of HTML_TreeMenu into html_treemenu so system could not
open the TreeMenu.php.
It's OK now. Thanh you for your help. Best wishes to you.
