    Tried installing postgresql today, and it is not working for some reason:

    root@server2 [/usr/local/apache]# /scripts/installpostgres
    This script will install Postgres 7.3.x or later
    If you have an older version installed you wil need to
    Dump your databases to a file and then restore them
    after the install as 7.3.x is not backwards compatible.
    If you do not have any databases, you can just run:
    mv /var/lib/pgsql /var/lib/pgsql.old
    /sbin/service postgresql stop
    /sbin/service postgresql start
    to force creating a 7.3.x style setup. Do not do this if
    you have databases that you wish to keep!

    Are you sure you wish to proceed? yes

    I thought I had had this working at one point, but I noticed it was not running today, so I removed all postgresql rpms and tried to start from scratch, but this is what I get.

    Any thoughts?

    RE: Postgresql Won

    Dear GotHosting,

    Check the postmaster\'s log file, or start postmaster service in command prompt to see whether postmaster is installed properly in server and also find out what complaint messages appear.

    If the postgresql got installed and if there is only problem in start up of postmaster service then starting the service in command prompt will help to find the exact error message you get.

    Also, check for any postmaster service already running using ps -aux command if it is running then kill that service before trying reinstallation.

    Regards,

    Is Postmaster Running?

    Hi
    This is what I did to get it fixed on my server:

    login to ssh as root:

    mv /var/lib/pgsql /var/lib/pgsql.old

    then run the postgre install again under ssh:

    /scripts/installpostgres

    then log into your WHM admin and click on the Postgre Config and reconfig and then change your password and all should be working.

    Regards
    Andrew Haley
