Errors after power failure

[danfisher]

After a powerfailure of 10hours I have got my database server back up and
the phpBB2 that a site uses is not working. Here is the error.

Warning: pg_connect() unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: could not
connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host
database.lhasi. org and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? in
/var/www/html/dealingwithcroh ns/phpBB2/db/postgres7.php on line 79
phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database

The machine is a RH9 box with the latest postgres running from redhat update.

I have webmin on the machine which shows the databases there but i keep
getting this error
The machine didn't come up with any errors or bad blocks with the auto fsck
so i am confused.

Can anyone help?

I am patient...its the other guys you gotta blame ;)

Sounds like you just need to delete /usr/local/pgsql/data/postmaster.pid
or /var/lib/pgsql/data/postmaster.pid and exectute service postgresql start.

[danfisher]

I have deleted the pid and restarted the postgresql and it is starting
fine. It just appears to not be accepting connections. I had to rebuild
the server the last time this happened. Starting to be a pain.

Anyone have ideas?

Look through the postgresql log. It will tell you what's going wrong.

Firewalling maybe? Check which ports are open with nmap.

I would suspect the manner in which it was started. Does your postresql.conf
file have tcpip_socket=tr ue?. If it is set to false and the script that
starts Postgres does not use the '-o -i' switch then the database will not
accept tcpip connections. Have you tried psql on the database host to see if
it can accept local connections via a unix socket?

If I could kiss you I would.

Everything is working now.

Apparently an old script I had was switched and you were right...the old
script was
not starting tcp connections.... so...I enabled it in the postgresql.conf and
it is ok

Thank You

-Dan

Thanks for everyones help!!
