Re: /etc/init.d/postgres-8.4-openscg start problem

Answering my own question .... changed the -w (wait) option on pg_ctl  to -W resolved the "problem" of pg_ctl start   Sombody in charge of maintaining pg_ctl should test it when the unix_socket_directory is changed from default Thanks anyway   --- On Mon, 3/21/11, Leo <fleovey@saij.jus.gov.ar> wrote: From: Leo <fleovey@saij.jus.gov.ar> Subject: [NOVICE] /etc/init.d/postgres-8.4-openscg start problem To: pgsql-novice@postgresql.org Date: Monday, March 21, 2011, 12:31 PM LINUX UBUNTU 10.10 new installation I installed Postgres 8.4.7 using the openscg distribution packages/postgres-8.4.7-1.i386.openscg.deb   The first problem was that the unix_socket_directory assumes '/tmp' DBD:Pg will not connect on /tmp so I had to change in postgresql.conf   = '/var/run/postgresql'   Now DBD:pg connects - (had to adjust Webmin also)   However  after changing the socket dir, the /etc/init.d/postgres-8.4-openscg start command says   Starting PostgreSQL 8.4: waiting for server to start...............................................................could not start server The PostgreSQL server start seems to have some problems, please see logs for details.   Log shows:   LOG:  database system was shut down at 2011-03-21 12:18:24 CDT LOG:  database system is ready to accept connections LOG:  autovacuum launcher started   So all is running OK but the pg_ctl is not aware of this. I tried passing it the -k "/var/run/postgresql" option but that did not solve the problem   Please indicate a fix - thank you __________ Información de ESET NOD32 Antivirus, versión de la base de firmas de virus 5970 (20110321) __________ ESET NOD32 Antivirus ha comprobado este mensaje. http://www.eset.com
