Gurbax,

hmm, somehow, either postgresql got removed or is not running.  To start it:

sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql start

if it got removed:

8.3: sudo apt-get install postgresql-8.3 postgresql-server-dev-8.3
8.4: sudo apt-get install postgresql-8.4 postgresql-server-dev-8.4

If the install does not start postgres (it should), then start it as described above.

If you do reinstall postgres, then please remember to configure it as described in the INSTALL file, or fossology will not come up. After configure, you have to restart postgres.

Hope that helps.


Mary, Mark,

We removed fossology with sudo apt-get remove fossology, then also ran the sudo 
apt-get autoremove command to clean up.

Now after following the instructions for install of 1.2.1 version, we are 
getting the following error message:

*** Running postinstall for everything ***
*** Setting up the FOSSology database ***
bash: psql: command not found
ERROR: postgresql isn't running
*** Creating user and group ***
NOTE: group 'fossy' already exists, good.

We did look at the Db.conf file, it seems to have the correct info in it.
