Hello everybody, I have some questions on Postgresql, pls help me if you can. I have installed postgresql 6.2.1on FreeBSD 2.2.6. To start it, I must first start the postmaster running, so I : 1) su pgsql (this account I think was created during the installation) 2) postmaster (I get this message :"postmaster does not know where to find the database system data. you must specify the directory that contains the database system either by specifying the -D invocation option or by setting the PGDATA environment variable". ) Then I try 3)postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data and it runs, I wonder why it don't start automatically when I start the server, my /usr/local/pgsql/.profile file had defined the PGDATA as /usr/local/pgsql/data and I have the file /usr/local/etc/rc.d/pgsql.sh . 4) when I run "psql template1 " or "createdb test" I get the following: connection to database 'template1' failed. PQexec() -- Request was sent to backend, but backend closed the channel before responding. This probably means the backend terminated abnormally before or while processing the request. freebsd /kernel : cmd postgres pid 782 tried to use non-present SYSVSEM freebsd /kernel : cmd postgres pid 782 tried to use non-present SYSVSEM freebsd /kernel : cmd postgres pid 755 tried to use non-present SYSVSEM freebsd /kernel : cmd postgres pid 755 tried to use non-present SYSVSEM createdb: database creation failed on test. [1] 755 Bad system call (core dumped) postmaster -D/usr/local/pgsql/data And the postgresql stops. Can anyone help me on this please?
