I have just installed PostgreSQL7.1.2. I am running
Red Hat 7.1 I uninstalled the PostgreSQL distribution 7.0x which came
together with it using RPM. I downloaded the RPMs for PostgreSQL7.1.2 using RPM.
I started the postgresql service by typing
/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql start. The command
successfully starts up the service. The problem comes after this. If I try to
login to any database using psql, it works fine and
has no complaints. But when I tried to access the database using the GUI client
pgacess, it fails with the error message
"ConnectDBStart()--connect..." and prompts me to check if the
postmaster is started with -i option. Even when I write a java client to
connect to the database through postgresql's jdbc, it fails with the same
error.
So I tried to start postmaster through command line
by typing /usr/bin/posmaster -i -D
/var/lib/pgsql/data. This starts the database as usual. I can
connect to the database through psql, pgacess
and a java cliet.Fine, now you may wonder what's the problem.
The problem is how do I add this into the postgres service startup script which
is in /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql. I tried adding the
"-i" near the postmaster startup command within the script but when I run it by
typing postgresql start, it fails.
Can anyone please let me know how and where should
I place the "-i" argument in the postgresql script? I will be eagerly awaitng a
reply..
Cheers
