S19post.... in run level 2 .. 5 and K19post... in run level 1, 6 I did use purge when removing it.
What makes me sure postgres is not running? If I launch postgres manually (su -c '/usr/lib/postgresql/8.2/bin/postgres -D /home/db' postgres) I see 3 databases up in webmin. If I restart, or try to launch the database using /etc/init/postgresql-8.2 start nothing shows ("PostgreSQL is not running on your system - database list could not be retrieved") To my question: If that should be the case then the package under x64 is broken. In order to run the database, configuration files have to be copied somewhere running the initdb first. The pg_hba.conf has to be manually configured to point to the db directory (which initdb creates in the same directory). Default values for this directory (/etc/postgresql) are set, but the corresponding directories are not created. My problem now seems: How can I convince /etc/init.d/postgresql to start the database with the correct user (postgresql) and refer to the right directory (in my case /home/db). -- postgresql does not start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/162517 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
