I've had to abandon putting Gentoo on one server due to hardware issues (and a
time crunch/volunteer work situation). So, I decided to put Fedora Core on
this server - it properly detected the raid controller and configured itself
fine.
Now it's time to configure the beast. First thing I did was figure out how to
install software from the command line (yum looks decent enough...), and
installed PostgreSQL, Apache, and PHP. I'm now trying to get PostgreSQL
running properly but am having problems.
Anytime I try to connect to the server I get an IDENT authentication failure.
I've modified pg_hba.conf to allow access for all users from the local
subnet, with no difference seen. Next, I tried to indicate which host to
connect to (localhost), and get an error saying I could not connect to
template1, and to check if I have enabled TCP/IP access. Well, that's
normally specified when you start the service, via a config file - as near as
I can tell no such config file exists.
When I check out the /etc/init.d/postgresql script, I see this:
[ -f /etc/sysconfig/pgsql/${NAME} ] && . /etc/sysconfig/pgsql/${NAME}
export PGDATA
export PGPORT
export PGOPTS
I know what the export lines do, but am not familiar enough with bash
scripting to know what the first line does. Regardless, the /etc/sysconfig
directory does not exist. Also, the PGOPTS value is never specified - I'm
assuming it's supposed to be in the referenced file under sysconfig?
In a pinch, I know enough to force postgres to start up with TCP/IP support
but would prefer to use the tools provided by Fedora Core. I feel I'll have
less trouble in the long run if I do Also, a lesser skilled person than me is
going to take over management of this server once I get it set up. (this is
only a comparison of that person's skills to mine, not my skills to anyone
else's).
Any tips? I suspect I'll hit similar types of issues with Apache, but I'm
familiar enough with messing around in the Apache config files, so hopefully
it'll go pretty smooth. Is there any tool similar to Yast for Fedora at the
command line?
Thanks for any suggestions. As always, I'll be visiting google.
