OK. So a stupid question, whether there is any possibility to run Postgresql as root? (I know this is forbidden generally. But what I find out is that in Linux FriendlyArm environment, root could create socket while non-root user does not have such privilege) Kind regards, Gerry On 09/22/2014 01:22 AM, Xiang Gan wrote: > Hi, > > I'm newbie here so I'm sorry if this is posted in wrong place. > > I tried to install Postgresql 9.2.9 on Linux Friendlyarm.

The user you are running Postgres as does not the permissions to create an IPv4 socket. I know nothing about Linux FriendlyArm, so I don't know where to go from here.
