Re: postgresql 7.1.3

I should made my question a little more clear. Postgresql would start
manually I just couldn't get it to start with the server after a reboot.

As it turns out I needed to do a 'chkconfig postgresql on'. For some reason
I don't remember having to do this before? My database now starts with the
server.

Thanks for your responses

Unfortunately the Red Had scripts redirects the output (stdout and stderr)
from
pg_ctl to /dev/null. Major brain-damage :-P

Debra: log on as postgres (su -l to root, then su -l to postgres) and try

bash-2.04$ pg_ctl start

Have a look at the output & post it here if it doesn't make any sense. You
should set PGDATA first, or use the -D option to pg_ctl.

Hope this helps a little.

Allan.
