Thread: Problem starting postgresql

OK Selvam:

I'm not just a teatcher, so I'm going to tell you the
way I've used:

You should make a little script called 'postgres', and
put it into /etc/rc.d/init.d/ directory

This script ('postgres') says so:

su - 'postgres' -c 'postmaster -i -o -F
&'>  /home/postgres/pgsql/server.log 2>&

(in your case maybe " /var/lib/pgsql/server.log ")

Once done it, you must make
into /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc2.d/- a link (ln -s) called
'S98postgres' to this script /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgres).

Make this link into /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc2.d if you start
your Linux in mode console -mode 2-

Hope it can help you...

Cheers  Sam

Edit the postmaster.conf file located in your /var/lib/pgsql/data directory. The line reads

# TCPIP_SOCKETS = False

change it to

TCPIP_SOCKETS = True

Subject: [ADMIN] Problem starting postgresql

I have just installed PostgreSQL7.1.2. I am running Red Hat 7.1 I uninstalled the PostgreSQL distribution 7.0x which came together with it using RPM. I downloaded the RPMs for PostgreSQL7.1.2 using RPM. I started the postgresql service by typing /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql start. The command successfully starts up the service. The problem comes after this. If I try to login to any database using psql, it works fine and has no complaints. But when I tried to access the database using the GUI client pgacess, it fails with the error message "ConnectDBStart()--connect..." and prompts me to check if the postmaster is started with -i option. Even when I write a java client to connect to the database through postgresql's jdbc, it fails with the same error.

 

So I tried to start postmaster through command line by typing /usr/bin/posmaster -i -D /var/lib/pgsql/data. This starts the database as usual. I can connect to the database through psql, pgacess and a java cliet.Fine, now you may wonder what's the problem. The problem is how do I add this into the postgres service startup script which is in /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql. I tried adding the "-i" near the postmaster startup command within the script but when I run it by typing postgresql start, it fails.

 

Can anyone please let me know how and where should I place the "-i" argument in the postgresql script? I will be eagerly awaitng a reply..

 

Cheers
