Hello again dear helpers,
I have been trying several things. Changed this line;
postgres -c "/usr/bin/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA -p /usr/bin/postmaster start =
>/dev/null 2>&1
in several ways. Can't get it to work with this.
Have tried to add : su postgres -c 'postmaster -i' to /etc/profile as =
well but no succes either.
When I use; su postgres -c 'postmaster -i' from the command line =
postmaster switches on and I can use the SQL-ledger application.=20
Wooow !!!
So the I can get the application work but would REALLY appreciate some =
help on switching on postgress at boot-time with the -i flag.
Thanks,
Oscar
Try a:
postgres -c "/usr/bin/pg_ctl -0 '-i' -D $PGDATA -p /usr/bin/postmaster
start >/dev/null 2>&1

Hi Steve,
It indeed sems to be that I need to start Postgresql with the -i option.
Question is how to do that?
In my "/etc/init.d/postgresql" I have the following line to start the
postmaster.
postgres -c "/usr/bin/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA -p /usr/bin/postmaster start
>/dev/null 2>&1
I have tried to add '-i' in several places in this line and to execute =
it
from the command line, but so far I have not been lucky.
Can you please advise me?
Thanks,
Oscar
PS: the error in httpd/error_log indicates the following:
DBI->connect(dbname=3Dfaicom;host=3D192.168.1.12;port=3D5432) failed:
PQconnectPoll() -- connect() failed: Connection refused
Is the postmaster running (with -i) at '192.168.1.12'
and accepting connections on TCP/IP port '5432'?
at SL/User.pm line 110

On the unofficial Debian Woody (with PostgreSQL 7.1) there's a separate file called /etc/postgresql/postmaster.init where you have to add the line "PGALLOWTCPIP=yes". Maybe it is similar on your system... - Jonas P.S.

"tcpip_socket = true" and "port = 5432" options. and postgres listens to tcp port. I did it with postgres build from sources and with postgres on Debian. :) -- Tomas Kuliavas |

Thanks to all the people replying to my 'crying out for help!' For the person that may benifit from it: To start Postgresql with the -i flag (to enable TCP/IP connections) on Mandrake 8=2E0 do the following: cd /etc/init=2Ed emacs postgresql Look for the line containing: echo -n "Starting postgresql service: " (probably line 82) The next line is then: su -l postgres -c "/usr/bin/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA -p /usr/bin/postmaster start >/dev/null 2>&1" Change it to: su -l postgres -c "/usr/bin/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA -p /usr/bin/postmaster -o -i start >/dev/null 2>&1" Notice the "-o -i" between postmaster and start=2E I assume the -o means 'options you want to give to the postmaster when starting it'=2E -i enables the TCP/IP connections=2E Enjoy, Oscar ----- Message d'origine ----- De : "Tomas Kuliavas" <tokul@bigfoot=2Ecom> ? : <sql-ledger-users@lists=2Esourceforge=2Enet> Envoy=E9 : mardi 19 juin 2001 20:22 Objet : Re: Version 1=2E4=2E4 installation problems (nearly there now ! ) > > Oscar Buijten wrote: > > > > Hello again dear helpers, > > > > I have been trying several things=2E Changed this line; > > postgres -c "/usr/bin/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA -p /usr/bin/postmaster > > start >/dev/null 2>&1 > > in several ways=2E Can't get it to work with this=2E > > > > Have tried to add : su postgres -c 'postmaster -i' to /etc/profile > > as well but no succes either=2E > > > > When I use; su postgres -c 'postmaster -i' from the command line > > postmaster switches on and I can use the SQL-ledger application=2E > > > > You don't need to modify init=2Ed script if you want to make postgresql > listen to tcp > > all you need is valid configuration file=2E > > "tcpip_socket =3D true" and "port =3D 5432" options=2E > > and postgres listens to tcp port=2E I did it with postgres build from > sources and with postgres on Debian=2E :) > -- > Tomas Kuliavas > |

Hi Oscar. I'm on Debian, so I do it through the postmaster.init file. I think you need to get what's below into your startup script or check the configuration file for the distribution that you're on. Your docs also might have more info. Sorry I can't be of more assistance. Steve > Try a: > postgres -c "/usr/bin/pg_ctl -0 '-i' -D $PGDATA -p > /usr/bin/postmaster > start >/dev/null 2>&1 > > |
