Hi Jeff,
It looks as though your postgresql db server configuration is
incomplete/incorrect. You must to edit the postgresql.conf and pg_hba.conf
config files to have a fully functional db for FOSSology BEFORE you try to
install & configure FO. There is a brief description of this in the
INSTALL<http://fossology.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fossology/trunk/fossology/INSTALL?revision=3690&view=markup>
file.
(There is exhaustive online documentation for
PostgreSQL<http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/index.html> install
and configuration.) The most important things are:
1. the listen address in postgresql.conf
listen_addresses = '*'
2. client authentication configuration file (pg_hba.conf)
# IPv4 local connections:
#hostall all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
hostall all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255md5
Restart the db server and try to connect to the db as user postgres:
postg...@mysys:~$ psql
Welcome to psql 8.3.12, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
Type: \copyright for distribution terms
\h for help with SQL commands
\? for help with psql commands
\g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
\q to quit
postgres=#
If this is successful, try connecting as user fossy (password fossy). If
either of these fail, check the postgres log file for errors.

Subject: [FOSSology] OEL Fossology install
Hi
Just tried to install Fossology onto an OEL instance ( OracleEnterpriseServer )
and cannot quite complete the activity. Has someone seen these error messages
before ?
/etc/init.d/fossology start
