I ran:
pg_ctlcluster 9.1 main start
Received:
The PostgreSQL server failed to start. Please check the log output.
But, hey, in /var/log/postgresql, there was absolutely no logging. Nothing.
After some googling, I tried:
usr/lib/postgresql/9.1/bin/postgres -D /data/postgresql/9.1/main -c
config_file=/etc/postgresql/9.1/main/postgresql.conf
From the command line, which spit out to the terminal:
2013-07-12 02:04:05 GMT [30091]: [1-1] FATAL: data directory
"/data/postgresql/9.1/main" has group or world access
OK, so where the heck did this error message go when I was running
pg_ctlcluster? It would have saved me a lot of time.
