Subject: RE: [ADMIN] Problem starting
postgresql
Edit
the postmaster.conf file located in your /var/lib/pgsql/data directory. The
line reads
#
TCPIP_SOCKETS = False
change it to
TCPIP_SOCKETS = True

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
Selvam
