I installed PostgreSQL 7.3.4 on Red Hat Linux 8.0.
When I tried to mount database (using initdb command), following error appear:
You cannot run initdb as root. Please log in as the (unprivileged) user that
will own the server process.
I read at Postgre documentation, and I need to log on as another user and strt
process.
This is my problem, I check another services and processes as root user, if I
use another user to manage Postgre, another appliactions crashes.
Does exist a way to start Postgre as root?
I appreciate some help.
Best Regards
