Fwd: trouble downloading postgres 9.4 for RHEL 6.x

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello all,


I got past the yum install, ran initdb but running into errors when starting service. Do you have to login as user postgres to start the service? THANKS

I am on RHEL 6.5 and don't know the postgres user password.

 service postgresql9.4 start
postgresql9.4: unrecognized service
-bash-4.1$  service postgresql start
postgresql: unrecognized service
-bash-4.1$ sudo passwd postgres
[sudo] password for postgres: 
Sorry, try again.
[sudo] password for postgres: 
Sorry, try again.
[sudo] password for postgres: 
sudo: 2 incorrect password attempts
-bash-4.1$  service postgresql-9.4 restart
Stopping postgresql-9.4 service:                           [  OK  ]
Starting postgresql-9.4 service:                           [FAILED]
-bash-4.1$ vi /var/lib/pgsql/9.4/pgstartup.log

Looks to me("Loaded plugins: security") there is something monitoring downloads on you machine. Given that this is RedHat I would say SELinux. Might be why the installer failed. In any case I do not use RedHat so I am not much use here. Try what I suggest below and if that does not work I would re-post to list with the above as there are people there that know more about RedHat then I and will have the knowledge to get the install to work.

That is first step. Now go to next step:

http://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/redhat/
"
Once this is done, you can proceed to install and update packages the same way as the ones included in the distribution.

yum install postgresql94-server postgresql94-contrib
service postgresql-9.4 initdb
chkconfig postgresql-9.4 on "

        Does it work for you? Can you let me know?


    Yes, it works for me. I am not on RedHat though. At this point just
    do the yum install, it is the better option anyway.


        Thanks

                 Adrian,
                 I am doing same steps as you. And my byte count matches
        yours.
                 It is a
                 RHEL 6.5 Linux machine. If the byte count matches how
        can it be
                 incomplete? I am baffled. Thanks for any clues!

             If you are dead set on using the installer you might try, from
             command line:

             wget
        http://get.enterprisedb.com/postgresql/postgresql-9.5.0-beta1-linux-x64.run

             See if the direct download does any better.
