Hi,
After having various error message in starting PostgreSQL version 8.2.11;
finally uninstalled/deleted it. Now trying my luck on 8.3.7, but things
haven't changed for me.
When I try to check that postmaster server is running or not? I get the
following error:
$ postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
LOG: could not translate host name "localhost", service "5432" to address:
Name or service not known
WARNING: could not create listen socket for "localhost"
FATAL: could not create any TCP/IP sockets
.......................................................................
Similarly when I try to start postgres server with
[postg...@callisto postgresql-8.3.7]$ pg_ctl -D pg8 start
postgres cannot access the server configuration file
"/usr/local/pgsql/postgresql-8.3.7/pg8/postgresql.conf": No such file or
directory
server starting
Have no idea what's wrong and where the problem is? Do I need to change/edit
some of Environment variable settings or what? Or should I reinstall PostgreSQL
with Yum?? Or should give up using PostgreSQL and switch to some other DB like
MySQL etc... No idea what to do.....?
Thanks in advance for help.
