Обсуждение: cannot open pg_database
Installing with yum, Fedora core 5. Get error: "could not open file "global/pg_database": No such file or directory." The file exists however, in /var/lib/pgsql/data/global and contains 3 lines: postgres 10793 1663 499 499 template 1 1663 499 499 template0 10792 1663 499 499 From the user-comments in manual, chapter 17.1 : If you get an error like psql: FATAL: could not open file "global/pg_database": No such file or directory make sure that in your init.d postgresql file (if you have one) or in the env variables for the shell that runs your server process that PGDATA is set properly. Then try to restart the server. If the server will not restart, check for an already running server process (sudo ps -af | grep postgres). Sometimes they can hang around, secretly, and screw things up. As newbie, reluctant to start editing the init.d file. Ideas appreciated. ***************** bash-3.1$ su -c 'pg_ctl start -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -l serverlog' postgres Password: postmaster starting bash-3.1$ psql template1 psql: FATAL: could not open file "global/pg_database": No such file or directory __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

what does this output?
su -c 'ls -l /usr/local/pgsql/data/global' postgres

You don't know, man. You don't KNOW.
Cause you weren't THERE. http://bash.org/?255991

It seems pretty odd that that would be the first error.

/usr/local is not /var/lib. Perhaps you have an incomplete/corrupt
database installation under /usr/local/pgsql/data? I don't believe
the postmaster would start if there were nothing there at all, but
it certainly doesn't try very hard to check whether every required
file is present.

Also, what is you $PGDATA variable pointing to? Issue: env | grep PG see what that comes out with.
