Hi all
Running postgres under RedHat9, I moved the /tmp partition to / and copied the /usr into a much larger one in order to
getmore disk space for programs . Hope I did not loose any file.
One of the problems is that postgre dont start. I Followed the /etc/init.d/postgresql script. It crashes at the line
su -l postgres -s /bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA -p /usr/bin/postmaster -o '-p ${PGPORT}' start "
with message
:FATAL: Can't create lock file /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432.lock: Permission denied
and the erroneous one
postmaster successfully started
I can understand that the user postgres:postgres cannot write in the /tmp directorythat belong to root:root (as usual),
butit worked before.
A precision, I have no .s.PGSQL.5432 file in the /tmp directory.
srwxrwxrwx 1 postgres postgres 0 Dec 11 14:01 ./.s.PGSQL.543
Have any suggestion so that I can rstart the postmaster ?
Should I reinstall postgresql and is it a great risk ?
Cordially
