Hi,

Yes you are correct. We will have to run the commands in the shell via sudo to check the status.

"/etc/init.d/postgresql status"

Share the status of the command above.

sudo: /etc/init.d/postgresql: command not found

Similarly to start the Postgres Server , we will run the following command:

"/etc/init.d/postgresql start"

Then run the status command above and run command above and see if the server is up.

sudo: /etc/init.d/postgresql: command not found

If the server hasn't started, we need to check the log file. Open the log file "/var/log/postgresql". We can check this by downloading the file and viewing using a text editor.

In the log file there is not postgresql ! (see here https://www.dropbox.com/s/46n3mv603jy3eaz/Senza%20titolo.tiff?dl=0)

My last log was on May (see my first email with link to the image: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/60onx881lrzwpgf/AAAa0iOBzfm0n1Jd5LD7sdg_a?dl=0 )

After that time, I had problems in June with my Os, so a technician made an upgrade to OS El Captain. And here I am!

Bests,

Mauro

Thanks and Regards,

Hemmm,

thank you Adarsh, but how can I check the status via /etc/init.d/postgresql status ? In the shell with sudo? I'm not an expert on linux...

And how to "start the service"?

Thank you,
mauro

Hi,

Check if the service is running. (/etc/init.d/postgresql status)

Start the service if not running and check the logs (location in the earlier email)

Unfortunatly the port 5432 is not open or does not show postgresql...

Hi,

Try checking if the service is started and listening on port 5432.

You can use netstat command to check it.

netstat -nalp | grep :5432

Also , check the latest logs of the postgres when you start the engine, what it is saying. We can get the logs usually at the location "/var/log/postgresql"

Hello,

I am running Postgres 9.2 on a MacOs X El Captain 10.11.6. I start my database named posgres last time in May. [After that, I had problems on my Mac, so I re-installad and upgraded the OS ti El Captain.] Now I'm trying to connect to my database by PgAdminIII, Navicat and so on, but it seems impossibile to start a connection: "The server does not listen". I have tried to find a solution in the Postgres documentation, under the Appendices (Installation, starting the database etc.), but I am not able to find a solution.

I have a basic knowledge of linux commands, shell, privileges etc.

I will attach here some screenshot with the error messages: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/60onx881lrzwpgf/AAAa0iOBzfm0n1Jd5LD7sdg_a?dl=0

Could anyone help me (a) to understand what the problem exactly is and (b) how to find a solution? Hope my tables and data are there!!

Thank you very much for you attention,
