I am trying to run gitea using postresql on Ubuntu. I installed it from binary. It’s giving this error in configuration.

This is the command I am using  
`sudo -u git gitea web --config /var/lib/gitea/custom/conf/app.ini`

```auto
  GNU nano 7.2 /var/lib/gitea/custom/conf/app.ini                                             
[server]
HTTP_PORT = 5555
ROOT_URL = http://localhost:5555/
[paths]
APP_DATA_PATH = /var/lib/gitea/data

```

This is the path to gitea  
`/usr/local/bin/gitea`
