I got the same symptoms as described in the original report. I found that /etc/postgresql/8.4 was missing, but the script silently exists with status 0 if that directory is missing.
The fix was to create the "main" cluster: pg_createcluster 8.4 main I suggest to either change the startup script such that a helpful message is shown if that directory is missing, or to include the createcluster call to the installation script. -- postgresql wont start in Lucid kubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/558319 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
