Обсуждение: 7.0 configuration

Hello,

I have just updated to 7.0 and have observed the following:

When the system boots, and Postgres is attempting to
start, I get the following error: 564, unary operator expected.

Yet after boot, I can see that postmaster is running and I
can connect to it with my application.

[root@Belcher jbelcher]# ps -aef | grep post
postgres   559     1  0 07:33 ?        00:00:00 [pg_ctl]
postgres   561   559  0 07:33 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/postmaster -i
postgres   899   561  0 07:34 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/postgres localhost
root
root       991   985  0 07:35 ttyp0    00:00:00 grep post

Previous to this reboot, I was not able to run psql, it failed with  a
statement
that I had "Too many clients".(there were none).  After the reboot, I was
able
to connect with psql even with the above error.

Anyone have any idea what going on?

I don't believe any part of Postgres itself issues such an error code.
Perhaps the message is coming out of your shell, which would suggest
some portability problem in the pg_ctl shell script.  Try running
pg_ctl by hand and/or inserting debugging echo commands to see if you
can narrow down where the problem is.

What platform are you on, anyway?

            regards, tom lane

On occasions I have had similar errors when starting up.  I'm using Mandrake 7.0.3-2mdk RPMs on Mandrake 7.2. The server still starts and runs OK.

Have done a complete reinstall since the last time I had this error so can be of little more help.

Regards

Ben
