I built and installed -9.0.1 on my Slackware-13.1 server and it ran for a while. Now, without warning, one of my applications dependent upon postgres won't run. While trying to restart postgres I learned the .pid file did not exist so I removed /tmp/.s.PGSQL* and tried to restart postgres.
Here's what I see: postg...@salmo:$ postgres -D /usr/local/pgsql/data & [1] 16044 postg...@salmo:/var/log/httpd$ LOG: could not open directory "/share/timezone": No such file or directory LOG: could not open directory "/share/timezone": No such file or directory LOG: could not open directory "/share/timezone": No such file or directory LOG: could not open directory "/share/timezone": No such file or directory LOG: could not open directory "/share/timezone": No such file or directory WARNING: could not open directory "/share/timezonesets": No such file or directory HINT: This may indicate an incomplete PostgreSQL installation, or that the file "/bin/postgres" has been moved away from its proper location.
