Thread: LOG: logger shutting down
My postmaster won't start. This is on a Fedora Core fc5 box, new and clean. It's postgres 8.1.4. All I get is "LOG: logger shutting down" in the pgstartup.log.I've checked for permission errors. At the relevant moment I get: # sh -x /etc/init.d/postgresql start ... ++ cat /var/lib/pgsql/data/PG_VERSION + '[' x8.1 '!=' x8.1 ']' + echo -n 'Starting postgresql service: ' Starting postgresql service: + echo -n 'City CarShare Hacking' + runuser -l postgres -c '/usr/bin/postmaster -p '\''5432'\'' -D '\''/var/lib/pgsql/data'\'' &' + sleep 2 LOG: logger shutting down ++ pidof -s /usr/bin/postmaster

A restorecon on the postgres executables and everything under /var/lib/pgsql might help. regards, tom lane
