Thread: PostGreSQL 7.0.3 hangs in SuSE

PostGreSQL 7.0.3 hangs in SuSE

From
Stephan Richter
Date:
Hello everyone,

did anyone notice that PostGres stops its services from time to time in
SuSE. I do not have the problem with RedHat, my install there is running
for several month smooth now, but the SuSE install gives me problems every
second day or so.
I tried all 7.0.x versions in source and binary form.

Did anyone experience the same issue?

Regards,
Stephan

What happens exactly? If it "hangs", how and when does it "hang"? At
startup? After running a specific query?

We're running compiled 7.0.3 on SuSE 7.1 without any problem.

Maybe your cron.daily deletes the socket file

    /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432

Your postmaster should remain running, but clients cannnot
connect?

I had a similar problem and solved it by adding a touch
command to the cron.daily.local script

#
# Prevent cron.daily from deleting postmasters socket files:
#
if [ "$START_POSTGRES" = yes ] ; then
   for TMP_DIR in $TMP_DIRS_TO_CLEAR ; do
       find $TMP_DIR/. -type s -name .\*PGSQL.\* -exec /usr/bin/touch {} \;
   done
fi

Hope this helps.
