Hi there,I installed postgres without creating another postres user/admin than myself, as there is no other user on my machine and it's only for testing purposes.
But strange enough, I only can start the postgres server from time to time, normally when I have freshly restarted the machine. Now for example, I did some changes to the postgresql.conf file, and when trying to restart the postgres server, I get this:
gridmac7:~ schwarzer$ sudo /opt/local/lib/postgresql82/bin/pg_ctl -D Documents/data_postgres -l logfile start
pg_ctl: cannot be run as root Please log in (using, e.g., "su") as the (unprivileged) user that will own the server process. What is this? Thanks for any advice, Stefan PS: Running Leopard on MacPro.
