- Subject: Postgres not working anymore
I just noticed Postgres stopped working on my installation.
That is postmaster starts up and immediately stops running.
I definately had a working installation on July 2.
In any event I decided to login to postgres id and recreate the initial
database
$ initdb -D /var/postgresql/data
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"postgres".
This user must also own the server process.
The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.
creating directory /var/postgresql/data... ok
creating directory /var/postgresql/data/base... ok
creating directory /var/postgresql/data/global... ok
creating directory /var/postgresql/data/pg_xlog... ok
creating directory /var/postgresql/data/pg_clog... ok
cp: cannot stat `/dev/null.exe': No such file or directory
initdb: failed
initdb: removing data directory "/var/postgresql/data"
postgres@agamemnon /var/postgresql
$ ls /dev/null
/dev/null
Is this related to the coreutils update and the thread entitled "Unwanted
.exe appended to symlinks"?
