Hi All,
I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I want to use Python 3.4 with AWS Linux and PostgreSQL 9.4. By default AWS Linux OS users Python2.7. I am trying to set the following variable in the PostgreSQL startup service
PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib64/python3.4
Below is a snippet from the service:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Set defaults for configuration variables
PGENGINE=/usr/pgsql-9.1/bin
PGPORT=5432
PGDATA=/var/lib/pgsql/9.1/data
PGLOG=/var/lib/pgsql/9.1/pgstartup.log
lockfile="/var/lock/subsys/${NAME}"
pidfile="/var/run/${NAME}.pid"
PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib64/python3.4
# Override defaults from /etc/sysconfig/pgsql if file is present
[ -f /etc/sysconfig/pgsql/${NAME} ] && . /etc/sysconfig/pgsql/${NAME}
export PGDATA
export PGPORT
export PYTHONPATH
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The variable is never loaded to the PID. When I do the same thing with Centos 7 it works fine. The only way I can get the PostgreSQL PID to see the variable is to set a global one in the /etc/profile.d directory. This unfortunately breaks AWS Linux utilities that use Python2.7.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Mark Street
