Обсуждение: Encountering errors while using pg_ctl
Hi All, We're using postgresql v.8.0.4 on a RHEL ES 4. Its newly installed by my sys-admin and when trying to use pg_ctl I get this error: [postgres@hsvxto pgsql]$ pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data stop -l log The programs "postmaster" and "psql" are needed by pg_ctl but were not found in the directory "/usr/bin". Check your installation. Postmaster is currently running and both psql and postmaster is there. Tried searching the archives but had no luck.. Am I missing something here? ---Best Regards Luqman B Mohd Ali CONFIDENTIALITY This e-mail message and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may containlegally privileged and/or confidential information.

Where did you install Postgres to? Did you install a binary package or compile from source? You may just need to sym link postmaster and psql into /usr/bin/ from their actual location - probably something like /usr/local/postgres/bin/ Cheers, ~p *******************Confidentiality and Privilege Notice******************* The material contained in this message is privileged and confidential to the addressee.

Phillip, As you can see it, > Where did you install Postgres to? Did you install a binary package or > compile from source? Its from a binary source. The files are in various places but $PGDATA will be in /usr/local/pgsql. Someone else did the installation. >You may just need to sym link postmaster and psql into /usr/bin/ from their >actual location - probably something like /usr/local/postgres/bin/ [postgres@hsvxto pgsql]$ ls -al /usr/bin/pg_ctl -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10214 May 10 2005 /usr/bin/pg_ctl [postgres@hsvxto pgsql]$ ls -la /usr/bin/postmaster /usr/bin/psql lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Jun 26 2006 /usr/bin/postmaster -> postgres -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 165336 May 10 2005 /usr/bin/psql Its actually in /usr/bin itself.

All, I realize what the problem is. Somehow multiple versions on pg_ctl exists... [postgres@hsvxto pgsql]$ find / -name pg_ctl -print 2>/dev/null /usr/bin/pg_ctl /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl /opt/postgresql-8.0.4/src/bin/pg_ctl /opt/postgresql-8.0.4/src/bin/pg_ctl/pg_ctl [postgres@hsvxto pgsql]$ ls -la /usr/bin/pg_ctl -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10214 May 10 2005 /usr/bin/pg_ctl Sigh... I have to clean this up then. I wonder if this means that there are multiple versions of postgres...Anyway thank you for the help Phillip. Best regards, Luqman.
