Thread: psql command

psql command

From
"Iuri Sampaio"
Date:

The postgres commands work fine to postgres user but it doesn’t work to a random user account

 

I already created the user on postgres

desktop:~# su - postgres

postgres@desktop:~$ createuser -a -d oacsbr

 

and set on .bashrc

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:/usr/local/pgsql/lib:/usr/local/pgsql/lib

PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:/usr/local/pgsql/bin:/usr/local/pgsql/bin

 

 

But somehow I can’t run any commands such as

oacsbr@desktop:~$ createdb -E UNICODE mytestdb

-su: createdb: command not found

oacsbr@desktop:~$ psql -l

-su: psql: command not found

oacsbr@desktop:~$ psql -l mytestdb.dmp mytestdb

-su: psql: command not found

 

 

Does anyone knows what I’ve missed?

I forgot to contextualize,

 

env | grep PATH :

 

oacsbr@desktop:~$ env | grep PATH

PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games

 

 

Funny thing, speaking about full paths... there is no psql command in "/usr/bin/"

 

oacsbr@desktop:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/psql

ls: /usr/bin/psql: No such file or directory

 

 

I installed postgresql 8.1 from tarball-source and followed those steps:

http://openacs.org/doc/current/postgres.html

I didn't use apt-get install

that's because it's presumably installed under /usr/local/pgsql/bin --
look at the PATH variable for user postgres or check with "which psql"
as user postgres.

| oacsbr@desktop:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/psql

|b in:/usr/local/pgsql/bin

you want to repeat this step for other users required to run the "psql"
command.


Ciao,

I can see your PATH variable has the path to postgres bin dir, but still looks like a environment variables issue.
Have you double-check whether your PATH is exported. Run these at the Unix command line to make sure:
 
echo $PATH
 
which psql
 
 
The other thing that I'm not sure about is one of your output lines:
 
                          -su: createdb: command not found
 
I was expecting to see  "-bash"  instead of  "-su"   as the shell name.
