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
 
unix_socket_directory = '/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
