OK I actually figured it out. It was indeed SELinux that was preventing jabber from connecting to the UNIX socket. What's strange, though, is that the syslog never showed me the messages until I rebooted into Permissive mode.
After I did that, I got the SELinux warnings that sm and c2s were being prevented from "connectto" access to the unix_steam_socket on /run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432 After I ran the suggested fix command: setsebool -P daemons_enable_cluster_mode 1 And rebooted again back into enforcing mode, jabber was able to start using pgsql. Thanks for the help all. --Matthew Wilkinson -----Original Message----- From: spacewalk-list-boun...@redhat.com [mailto:spacewalk-list-boun...@redhat.com] On Behalf Of Avi Miller Sent: Wednesday, May 31, 2017 15:50 To: spacewalk-list@redhat.com Subject: Re: [Spacewalk-list] Error connecting to jabber [This is an external email.

Yes, the blog post was written on OL7. Can you email me your sm.xml and pg_hba.conf files directly so I can take a look at your configuration and compare it to mine? Also, if SElinux is enabled, see if disabling it resolves the issue. Cheers, Avi P.S. I’m out of the office for the rest of the day, so I’ll probably only get a chance to look at any replies tomorrow. -- Oracle <http://www.oracle.com> Avi Miller | Product Management Director | +61 (3) 8616 3496 Oracle Linux and Virtualization 417 St Kilda Road, Melbourne, Victoria 3004 Australia _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list Spacewalk-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list Spacewalk-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list
