"Linux" what, exactly? > when i try to execute \d commands on psql i get error message > relation "pg_catalog.pg_user does not exist" I remembered why this seemed vaguely familar: that's the symptom of an initdb failure that was caused by buggy ancient versions of SELinux policy. "Ancient" here means "right about the same vintage as PG 7.4.6", cf for instance http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2005-03/msg00014.php so I am wondering if you are running a four-year-old copy of Fedora or RHEL that has selinux enforcement mode turned on. If so, do yourself a favor and get something newer ... there were a LOT of bugs in the selinux policies back then. Or you could disable enforcement, but that wouldn't be a very good idea considering the number of unpatched security issues that are presumably in that system. In any case, the database you have is broken and you should re-initdb after taking care of the software problem. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
