/etc/init.d/postgresql start

or

service postgresql start

Postgresql fails to start 36 weeks 1 day ago

I have installed postgresql using pacman. And followed the wiki to get started. But, I got stuck at starting the server.

Hello all,

I can't start postgresql and logs are empty. Here is the complete steps I did so far:

I just installed Opensuse 11.2, got it up to date. Then I zypped in postgresql and postgresql-server.

When I first did rcpostgresql start, after a while (a minute or so of waiting) I got a message "could not start server". Bummer.

PostgreSQL secure 2 years 27 weeks ago

Hello, I want to start PostgreSQL to use secure loging. Therefore i want to create a remote secure connection using the hostssl option in pg_hba.conf. However it is claimed that the PostgreSQL server must also be running with the -l (SSL) and -i (TCP/IP) options.

I am trying to upgrade postgresql from 9.0.4 to 9.2.3 using the directions from the wiki (postgresql page, under "upgrading"), due to systemd causing my connections to be refused on my socket for 9.0.4...# pacman -S postgresql-old-upgrade postgresql-libs :: postgresql-libs is in IgnorePkg/IgnoreGroup. Install anyway?

I have installed postgresql via apt-get install postgresql, but have an error, don't make the folder /etc/postgresql/9.1.

The error on psql:

psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

when I wanna doing anything with Synaptic or apt-get or stop , start, restart postgresql I will recivied following error

Setting up postgresql-common (114) ... * Starting PostgreSQL 8.4 database server * Insecure directory in $ENV{PATH} while running with -T switch at /usr/bin/pg_ctlcluster line 63.
