Subject: Postgresql doesn't startup anymore. - msg#00289

List: os.apple.fink.devel

Date: Prev Next Index Thread: Prev Next Index
Hi,
as discussed two weeks ago on [Fink-Users] I'm not able to startup Postgresql after updating it to version 7.3.3. I got the following error:

shell-init: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Permission denied

Can anyone help me to fix this problem, and getting my db back up and running?

Thanks in advance,
Andrea.

Ah, I get it now. I guess for me, a certain workaround has become such a habit that I forgot about why I do it. Namely, when I want to build a package foo which has a shlibs splitoff, I just do "fink build foo-shlibs" to avoid the extra installation. -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.

In the short term I just changed all file ownership in the /sw/var/postgresql directory tree back to the pgsql user. I used the command 'sudo find /sw/var/postgresql -exec chown pgsql.pgsql {} \;' I suspect this'll break when I install another fink update of postgresql. In the long term I'm probably going to have to make the transition over to the new 'postgresql' user to allow fink updates to work. I just haven't got that to work yet. I suspect I'll need to delete /sw/var/postgresql/data and init a database setup manually under the new user, but I haven't spent the time to see if that'll work.
