postgres start up error

[Azimuddin Mohammed <azimeiu@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Admins,

When I am rebooting my postgres server I am getting below error. postgres user is not able to create a directory in /var/run, var/run is owned by root in our organization. So I have to create the directory manually, chnage the permissoin and start postgres.

Is there a way I can change the /var/run folder to any other location where I can manage the postgres permission.
