I am attempting to install the Fossology <http://fossology.org/> OSS license analysis software on a server running Ubuntu Linux and PostgreSQL. I have gotten to the point where I am at the final install command, and I get an error on a "dbcheck" program that says: # Checking database connectivity ERROR: Unable to connect to the database Connection string: 'dbname=fossology host=localhost user=fossy password=fossy' Connection status: '1' ERROR: Failed to open database ERROR: Database not configured. Check /usr/local/share/fossology/dbconnect/fossology then re-run the install. When I cat the file it looks like: dbname=fossology; host=localhost; user=fossy; password=fossy; No where in the instructions has it asked me to "configure" the DB except for a few config files that I had to alter: I changed the /etc/postgresql/8.1/main/pg_hba.conf file to read: #local all postgres ident sameuser local all all trust Then I restarted the server with the command: /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.1restart It restarted fine. Then tried to run the ./install.sh -f again And I got the same "Database not configured" error again. Other info that might be relevant: /etc/passwd contains the following new entries: fosstest:x:1000:1000:fosstest,,,:/home/fosstest:/bin/bash <= main system user postgres:x:109:120:PostgreSQL administrator,,,:/var/lib/postgresql:/bin/bash fossy:x:1001:1001:FOSSology:/srv/fossology:/bin/bash (used to be /bin/false but I changed it to /bin/bash in the hopes that it would work) <= password is fossy Thanks in advance for your help. Detailed config info can be provided to anyone wishing to help me. Thank you!
Can you connect to the database with psql? ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
