When I installed the latest version of PostgreSQL today, I attempted to start the daemon so I could login and start creating databases but received the following error: [root@buster ~]# /etc/rc.d/postgresql start :: Starting PostgreSQL [BUSY] su: warning: cannot change directory to /var/lib/postgres: Permission denied could not change directory to "/root" pg_ctl: could not open PID file "/var/lib/postgres/data/postmaster.pid": Permission denied [FAIL] Anyone know what I am doing wrong? This is a brand new server and fresh install of both Arch & PostgreSQL.
