[cobalt-users] RAQ4 - postgresql not starting after install of CGIWrap Update 2.0.1

[John Mehan <jmehan@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've recently added the CGIWrap Update 2.0.1 package and soon after
discovered that my postgres db will no longer start.  I don't really
know if this is related to this update but it did happen after
installing the package.

When I try to start up postgres
----------------------------------------------
 [root init.d]# ./postgresql start
 Setting up PostgreSQL: failed!
----------------------------------------------

I get the following error in /var/log/postgresql

------------------------------------------------------------
  "root" execution of the PostgreSQL backend is not permitted.

  The backend must be started under its own userid to prevent
  a possible system security compromise. See the INSTALL file for
  more information on how to properly start the postmaster.
------------------------------------------------------------

Has anyone else had any problems with this package?  Is there something
I'm doing wrong?  

John Mehan
