Re: Unable to init and run postgresql-12 on centos 8.2.2004 - Mailing list pgsql-general

Seenu, I don't see any journalctl entry other than the log that postmaster has been killed. (Jun 21 14:52:30 f9cbc3b08e20 systemd[1]: postgresql-12.service: Killing process 1096 (postmaster) with signal SIGKILL.) 

Any further suggestions on where to look ? 

It does seem to work with systemd-239-18 (8.1.1911) but fails with systemd-239-30 (In 8.2.2004 repo).

Hello,

I'm trying to install postgresql 12 on CentOS 8.2 as following - 

First I run docker container on the host  - 

# docker run --privileged -dit --name pgdg centos:8.2.2004 /sbin/init

Then inside the container, I run the commands given below - 

# yum -y install glibc-langpack-en glibc-locale-source

# localedef -i en_US -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8

#  dnf install https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-8-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm 

#  dnf -qy module disable postgresql 

#  dnf install postgresql12-server 

#  /usr/pgsql-12/bin/postgresql-12-setup initdb 

#  systemctl enable postgresql-12

#  systemctl start postgresql-12

Postgresql starts at this point... 

However, when I try to stop it, it just hangs - 

# systemctl stop postgresql-12 (hangs)

Can someone help how to resolve this?

Thanks,

Vishal

Looking at logs might help.
