Adrian, thanks a lot about your questions
1. postgresql was installed via apt-get install postgresql -y command 2. in /var/run/postgresql/ there is only one file called 9.3-main.pid 3. postgres is not running, I did not find nothing with ps command 4. I remove the postmaster.pid file and I tried to run postgresql manually. this is the result: # /etc/init.d/postgresql start * Starting PostgreSQL 9.3 database server The PostgreSQL server failed to start. Please check the log output. ...fail! I verified in /var/log/postgresql/ and I've not found nothing On 3 October 2015 at 15:19, Adrian Klaver <adrian.kla...@aklaver.com> wrote: > On 10/03/2015 05:50 AM, Paolo De Michele wrote: > >> hi there, >> >> thanks a lot >> so, I'm using docker on ubuntu 14.04 >> about permissions: >> >> # ls -la /var/lib/postgresql/9.3/main >> total 72 >> drwx------ 28 postgres postgres 4096 Oct 3 12:41 . >> drwxr-xr-x 4 postgres postgres 4096 Oct 1 11:59 .. >> -rwx------ 1 postgres postgres 4 Mar 21 2015 PG_VERSION >> drwx------ 12 postgres postgres 4096 Oct 1 11:59 base >> drwx------ 2 postgres postgres 4096 Oct 1 11:59 global >> drwx------ 2 postgres postgres 4096 Oct 1 11:59 pg_clog >> drwx------ 6 postgres postgres 4096 Oct 1 11:59 pg_multixact >> drwx------ 2 postgres postgres 4096 Oct 1 11:59 pg_notify >> drwx------ 2 postgres postgres 4096 Mar 21 2015 pg_serial >> drwx------ 2 postgres postgres 4096 Mar 21 2015 pg_snapshots >> drwx------ 2 postgres postgres 4096 Mar 21 2015 pg_stat >> drwx------ 2 postgres postgres 4096 Oct 1 11:59 pg_stat_tmp >> drwx------ 2 postgres postgres 4096 Oct 1 11:59 pg_subtrans >> drwx------ 2 postgres postgres 4096 Mar 21 2015 pg_tblspc >> drwx------ 2 postgres postgres 4096 Mar 21 2015 pg_twophase >> drwx------ 4 postgres postgres 4096 Oct 1 12:18 pg_xlog >> -rwx------ 1 postgres postgres 133 Oct 1 20:00 postmaster.opts >> -rw------- 1 postgres postgres 50 Oct 3 12:41 postmaster.pid >> >> in /var/log/postgresql/ I've a file with 0kb >> it is weird >> is there a way to recover all dbs without starting the daemon? >> > > > What OS and version are you running?
