Hello. I have FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE-p1 and upgraded to PostgreSQL 7.4 (built it from FreeBSD port databases/postgresql7).
With default pg_hba.conf everything is OK. When I change line in pg_hba.conf file from local all all trust to local all pgsql trust it works. Then I change the line to local all pgsql ident sameuser and try to start server with > su -l pgsql -c "pgsql start -D /home/pgsql/data -s -w" It does not start. In logfile there are messages: > Dec 11 13:40:19 tandem1 postgres[41718]: [1-1] LOG: XX000: could not create socket > for statistics collector: Protocol not supported > Dec 11 13:40:19 tandem1 postgres[41718]: [1-2] LOCATION: pgstat_init, pgstat.c:228 > Dec 11 13:40:19 tandem1 postgres[41722]: [2-1] LOG: 00000: database system was shut > down at 2003-12-11 13:39:13 MSK > Dec 11 13:40:19 tandem1 postgres[41723]: [2-1] LOG: 00000: connection received: > host=[local] port= > Dec 11 13:40:19 tandem1 postgres[41722]: [2-2] LOCATION: StartupXLOG, xlog.c:2598 > Dec 11 13:40:19 tandem1 postgres[41723]: [2-2] LOCATION: BackendFork, > postmaster.c:2389 > Dec 11 13:40:19 tandem1 postgres[41722]: [3-1] LOG: 00000: checkpoint record is at > 0/9B0C4C > Dec 11 13:40:19 tandem1 postgres[41723]: [3-1] FATAL: 57P03: the database system is > starting up > Dec 11 13:40:19 tandem1 postgres[41722]: [3-2] LOCATION: StartupXLOG, xlog.c:2630 > Dec 11 13:40:19 tandem1 postgres[41723]: [3-2] LOCATION: ProcessStartupPacket, > postmaster.c:1431 > Dec 11 13:40:19 tandem1 postgres[41722]: [4-1] LOG: 00000: redo record is at > 0/9B0C4C; undo record is at 0/0; shutdown TRUE > Dec 11 13:40:19 tandem1 postgres[41722]: [4-2] LOCATION: StartupXLOG, xlog.c:2655 > Dec 11 13:40:19 tandem1 postgres[41722]: [5-1] LOG: 00000: next transaction ID: > 541; next OID: 17142 > Dec 11 13:40:19 tandem1 postgres[41722]: [5-2] LOCATION: StartupXLOG, xlog.c:2658 > Dec 11 13:40:19 tandem1 postgres[41722]: [6-1] LOG: 00000: database system is ready > Dec 11 13:40:19 tandem1 postgres[41722]: [6-2] LOCATION: StartupXLOG, xlog.c:2948 > Dec 11 13:40:20 tandem1 postgres[41728]: [2-1] LOG: 00000: connection received: > host=[local] port= > Dec 11 13:40:20 tandem1 postgres[41728]: [2-2] LOCATION: BackendFork, > postmaster.c:2389 > Dec 11 13:40:20 tandem1 postgres[41728]: [3-1] LOG: 00000: connection authorized: > user=pgsql database=template1 > Dec 11 13:40:20 tandem1 postgres[41728]: [3-2] LOCATION: BackendFork, > postmaster.c:2451 > Dec 11 13:40:20 tandem1 postgres[41728]: [4-1] FATAL: 08P01: invalid frontend > message type 0 > Dec 11 13:40:20 tandem1 postgres[41728]: [4-2] LOCATION: SocketBackend, > postgres.c:366 > Dec 11 13:40:21 tandem1 postgres[41732]: [2-1] LOG: 00000: connection received: > host=[local] port= > Dec 11 13:40:21 tandem1 postgres[41732]: [2-2] LOCATION: BackendFork, > postmaster.c:2389 > Dec 11 13:40:21 tandem1 postgres[41732]: [3-1] LOG: 00000: connection authorized: > user=pgsql database=template1 > Dec 11 13:40:21 tandem1 postgres[41732]: [3-2] LOCATION: BackendFork, > postmaster.c:2451 > Dec 11 13:40:21 tandem1 postgres[41732]: [4-1] FATAL: 08P01: invalid frontend > message type 0 > Dec 11 13:40:21 tandem1 postgres[41732]: [4-2] LOCATION: SocketBackend, > postgres.c:366 > Dec 11 13:40:22 tandem1 postgres[41718]: [2-1] LOG: 00000: received fast shutdown > request > Dec 11 13:40:22 tandem1 postgres[41718]: [2-2] LOCATION: pmdie, postmaster.c:1730 > Dec 11 13:40:22 tandem1 postgres[41735]: [3-1] LOG: 00000: shutting down > Dec 11 13:40:22 tandem1 postgres[41735]: [3-2] LOCATION: ShutdownXLOG, xlog.c:3092 > Dec 11 13:40:24 tandem1 postgres[41735]: [4-1] LOG: 00000: database system is shut > down > Dec 11 13:40:24 tandem1 postgres[41735]: [4-2] LOCATION: ShutdownXLOG, xlog.c:3106 I pressed CTRL-C after some time. If not to press it, the log will be longer, but the result is the same (there will be more connections that fail). When I tried to change pg_hba.conf online and then to make pg_ctl reload, postgresql continued running, but su -l pgsql -c "psql -l" failed with similar effects. Now I am running PostgreSQL with local all pgsql trust but it seems that it is not appropriate for secure environment. In PostgreSQL 7.3.4 everything worked (the matter begun when I moved old pg_hba.conf after upgrading). -- Constantin Stefanov ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
