Package: postgresql Severity: important
While trying to start PostgreSQL using the init.d scripts (/etc/init.d/postgresql ..) it reports an error that "shouldn't happen". Reading logs (/var/log/postgresql/postgres.log) the following error appears: 2005-09-28 09:11:12 [4192] LOG: could not create IPv6 socket: Address family not supported by protocol postmaster isn't running (ps aux | grep postmaster) and, as of now, we wouldn't be using IPv6 yet. This is a Debian 3.1 running on an Alphaserver DS20, on kernel 2.2.20. Running postmaster with the highest level of debugging information returns: ../postmaster -d 5 2005-09-28 09:18:52 [4322] DEBUG: ./postmaster: PostmasterMain: initial environ dump: 2005-09-28 09:18:52 [4322] DEBUG: ----------------------------------------- 2005-09-28 09:18:52 [4322] DEBUG: HZ=100 2005-09-28 09:18:52 [4322] DEBUG: SHELL=/bin/sh 2005-09-28 09:18:52 [4322] DEBUG: TERM=xterm 2005-09-28 09:18:52 [4322] DEBUG: USER=postgres 2005-09-28 09:18:52 [4322] DEBUG: PGLIB=/usr/lib/postgresql/lib 2005-09-28 09:18:52 [4322] DEBUG: MAIL=/var/mail/postgres 2005-09-28 09:18:52 [4322] DEBUG: PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/lib/postgresql/bin 2005-09-28 09:18:52 [4322] DEBUG: PWD=/usr/lib/postgresql/bin 2005-09-28 09:18:52 [4322] DEBUG: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:\w\$ 2005-09-28 09:18:52 [4322] DEBUG: SHLVL=1 2005-09-28 09:18:52 [4322] DEBUG: HOME=/var/lib/postgres 2005-09-28 09:18:52 [4322] DEBUG: LOGNAME=postgres 2005-09-28 09:18:52 [4322] DEBUG: PGDATA=/sapidata/data 2005-09-28 09:18:52 [4322] DEBUG: _=./postmaster 2005-09-28 09:18:52 [4322] DEBUG: OLDPWD=/var/lib/postgres 2005-09-28 09:18:52 [4322] DEBUG: ----------------------------------------- 2005-09-28 09:18:52 [4322] DEBUG: found "/usr/lib/postgresql/bin/./postgres" using argv[0] 2005-09-28 09:18:53 [4322] LOG: could not create IPv6 socket: Address family not supported by protocol 2005-09-28 09:18:53 [4322] DEBUG: invoking IpcMemoryCreate(size=2260992) 2005-09-28 09:18:53 [4322] DEBUG: max_safe_fds = 984, usable_fds = 1018, already_open = 6 2005-09-28 09:18:53 [4322] DEBUG: found "/usr/lib/postgresql/bin/./postmaster" using argv[0] -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12.2 Locale: LANG=es_VE, LC_CTYPE=es_VE (charmap=ISO-8859-1) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
