hi,
But who is it owned by, and with what permissions?
same owner as postmaster, 0644 or 0600
If you do the "touch" as some other user than the postmaster runs as, it'svery
plausible the postmaster can't write the file. (That doesn't yet explain why it goes south afterward, but first we need to understand the conditions that make it fail.)
yup. agreed.
postmaster launched as 'testuser', pidfile touched as:
sudo -u testuser touch /var/run/postgresql.pid
resulting in:
-rw-r--r-- 1 testuser testuser 4 Dec 2 14:07 postgresql.pid
fwiw, i've got a clean build under way on another box: pgsql, prereqs and dir hierarchy will all be 'fresh'. we'll see if it's me (betcha! there's been a LOT going on on _this_ box ... more than pgsql) or the code ...
