LOG: logger shutting down runuser: cannot set groups: Operation not permitted LOG: logger shutting down FATAL: syntax error in file "/var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf", near token "," Now, in the "/var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf" the only change I have made is in listen_addresses; viz listen_addresses = 'localhost', '*' Let me know how to move ahead.
