hi all, manged to overcome the issue. the problem was with the shebang line of the pg_ctlcluster script. i replaced the switch '-T' with a '-t', turning Perl's 'tainting checks' to 'tainting warnings'. http://www252.pair.com/comdog/mastering_perl/Chapters/03.taint-checking.html thanks ~viraj p.s. turning security off is never a solution.

hi all, i'm running postgresql-7.4 on a debian etch box. postgresql was working fine before the dist upgrade (it was sarge). now, when i restart the service it says.. viraj:/var/log/postgresql# pg_ctlcluster 7.4 main reload Insecure directory in $ENV{PATH} while running with -T switch at /usr/bin/pg_ctlcluster line 384. i didn't change permission of postgresql directories. and the configuration files are untouched. can somebody shed some light on this? thank you ~virajj
