Public bug reported:
The init script /etc/init.d/postgresql in Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr has
check:
start|stop|restart|reload)
if [ -z "`pg_lsclusters -h`" ]; then
log_warning_msg 'No PostgreSQL clusters exist; see "man
pg_createcluster"'
exit 0
fi
pg_lsclusters -h command will return an empty string (to STDOUT) if
/var/run/postgresql does not exist.
/var/run/postgresql does not get initialized however until the init
script can reach a call to 'start' from /usr/share/postgresql-
common/init.d-functions:
start() {
# create socket directory
if [ -d /var/run/postgresql ]; then
chmod 2775 /var/run/postgresql
else
install -d -m 2775 -o postgres -g postgres /var/run/postgresql
[ -x /sbin/restorecon ] && restorecon -R /var/run/postgresql || true
fi
do_ctl_all start "$1" "Starting PostgreSQL $1 database server"
}
/var/run is a volatile file system by default in Trusty - so on reboot
/var/run/postgresql will not exist.
Essentially, postgresql will fail to start on reboot.
