Hi all,
I've been unable to get launchctl to start the PostgreSQL server, even though
the daemon appears to be loading.
First I installed postgresql84 @8.4.10_0, but it appeared that a launch daemon
plist file was not included with the installation.
Google searches suggested that the plist file comes with the server, so I
installed postgresql84-server @8.4.10_0, which indeed installed the plist file.
In contrast with installing '84, '84-server took only moments to complete
installation.
Invoking launchctl to load the plist file, rebooting or not, then calling
`psql` yields the familiar error:
psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
Thinking that the launch daemon was not loaded, I tried loading it again:
% sudo launchctl load -w
/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.postgresql84-server.plist
only to find that it was already loaded:
org.macports.postgresql84-server: Already loaded
The plist file specifies /opt/local/bin/daemondo, which I confirmed exists and
is executable on my machine. I currently have both postgres variants active:
postgresql84 @8.4.10_0 (active)
postgresql84-server @8.4.10_0 (active)
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Scott
