I was trying to install PostgreSQL-9.3 and postgis-2.1 using this command

sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib postgis postgresql-9.3-postgis-2.1

I got this error

The PostgreSQL server failed to start. Please check the log output: 2016-03-18 10:54:56 IST FATAL: private key file "/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key" has group or world access 2016-03-18 10:54:56 IST DETAIL: File must be owned by the database user or root, must have no write permission for "group", and must have no permissions for "other".

I searched for the error and got some solutions from the below links

I tried the solution but this gave me error permission denied..

and the second one I tried was

chmod 640 /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key

this gave error operation not permitted. Please help me with this..

Maybe `sudo` before `chmod` could help. – devanand Mar 17 '16 at 09:32
Sorry I didn't mentioned that.. but I already tried that – AMahajan Mar 18 '16 at 10:05
and the main error still persist – AMahajan Mar 18 '16 at 10:14
send a `ls -la` from `data` – devanand Mar 18 '16 at 14:08
