Hi Kyo, >From what you've written below, your workaround (chmod +r fossologyinit.sql, >executed as root) should have worked. Please make sure to use "su - postgres" >(include dash) so you get the postgres user's environment.
If you continue to have trouble, send me the output of these commands: chmod +r fossologyinit.sql ls -l fossologyinit.sql su - postgres psql psql > fossologyinit.sql Thanks, Mary ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of kyo xiaoyi Sent: Monday, January 25, 2010 8:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [FOSSology] [Help]create the database schema failed! Hi,everyone, I failed on the step creating the database schema when I was installing fossology. The doc said: You must be logged in as user postgres to create the database schema and define the owner. As root, you can su to user postgres (su postgres) and then run the psql command: psql < fossologyinit.sql I did exactly what it said and I got an error: sh: cannot open fossologyinit.sql: Permission denied Could someone tell me how to fix it?I tried chmod but it did not work, thanks a lot! -- Kyo Xiaoyi
