Re: beginner help

Not sure why postgres service would complain about root/jiradbuser at startup
I wonder if it does not try to start other things as well (doubtfull though)

May want to make sure postgres is down and try to start manually using pg_ctl command as postgres , create root and jiradbuser roles , stop and start using systemctl and go from there

I think need to get past the errors first, and I don’t know how to do that. I don’t know what user I should use to create database users or create the database.

Postgresql-Mon.log reports “FATAL: role “root” does not exist” and “FATAL: role “jiradbuser” does not exist” because of trying to create those users.
