Re: [cobalt-users] GUI not working (postgres won't start!?)

[cobalt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Well, it only asks for the password if I do it via UID: postgres.
When I try to start it as root, it simply fails and says:

root@web-raq05:/etc/cobalt# /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql start
Setting up PostgreSQL: failed!


root@web-raq05:/etc/cobalt# tail /var/log/postgresql
