After an update on the system, and adding mod_ssl in Apache (is this related? No idea.), Postgres no longer starts up. It just fails silently. “pgstartup.log” contains only one single line:

runuser: cannot set groups: Operation not permitted



did you use yum to install everything? do you use any non-standard CentOS repositories ?

CentOS 5 came with an older version of PG (8.1, I think?), so where did you get 8.4 from, and how did you install it originally?

the PGDG packaged postgresql versions for CentOS/RHEL appear to use `runuser` instead of `su` if selinux is enabled ... so this is likely a selinux related issue.
