Installed PostgreSQL But Can't Start It
When I installed the latest version of PostgreSQL today, I attempted to start the daemon so I could login and start creating databases but recieved the following error:
[root@db1 ~]# /etc/rc.d/postgresql start
:: Starting PostgreSQL [BUSY] su: warning: cannot change directory to /var/lib/postgres: Permission denied
could not change directory to "/root"
pg_ctl: could not open PID file "/var/lib/postgres/data/postmaster.pid": Permission denied
[FAIL] ./
