Public bug reported:
In calendarserver 5.3 on Ubuntu 14.10, the launch script does not
properly launch the server using the default configuration files and the
init.d script. This is because calendarserver spawns a child postgreSQL
server by default. However, the server expects the binaries located in
/usr/lib/postgressql/x.y/bin to be in the path when launching, and exits
with an error if they are not. See
https://www.calendarserver.org/ticket/397 for an error log under that
condition.
An easy solution is to edit the calendarserver init script and add the
appropriate directory to the path. (See attached init script for the
modification). However, my attachment should not be considered a patch
as the path is postgreSQL version specific. A more clever programmer
could add a few lines to the init script to determine the path, then add
it.
Per the linked ticket on www.calendarserver.org, this bug appears to
have existed since at least 10.04
