The main web application on port 80 was running on sysadmin account in application. I changed identity to Domain user account. Added that user to config and admin databases as db owner and securityadmin.

From that onward website is displaying

Cannot connect to the configuration database.

I added domain user into farm admin group also. Still did not worked.

I changed back to sysadmin account and working fine. But I don't want use sysadmin account.
