Public bug reported:
Unable to write to history log. Seems to be the same problem as bug
32696 which was marked as fixed back in 2006. But, it happens to me too
after straight postgress installation on an Ubuntu 14.04 Amazon EC2
instance.
Steps taken to install:
<Stand up EC2 instance>
$ sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib
$ sudo apt-get install pgadmin3
Problem occurs:
ubuntu@ip-172-31-20-201:~$ sudo -u postgres psql postgres
psql (9.3.4)
Type "help" for help.
postgres=# \password postgres
Enter new password:
Enter it again:
postgres=# \q
could not save history to file "/var/lib/postgresql/.psql_history": No such
file or directory
<ctrl-d>
Listing of /var/lib/postgresql directory:
ubuntu@ip-172-31-20-201:~$ ls -al /var/lib/postgresql
total 16
