unable to start PostgreSQL

Hi,

I recently installed the LAPP stack 1.2-1 on Debian 5.0

The install process worked fine and Apache starts regularly when typing:
/home/user/lappstack-1.2-1/ctlscript.sh start apache

The problem is that when i try to start PostgreSQL i recive this error:

postgres cannot access the server configuration file “/home/user/lappstack-1.2-1/postgresql/data/postgresql.conf”: Permission denied
/home/user/lappstack-1.2-1/postgresql/scripts/ctl.sh : postgresql could not be started

I also tried to start it as root, check the file permissions (and they are ok), search in different forums but i had no luck

If someone could help me, he would give me a really great favor.

Hi,

Did you install the application as a regular user or as a root user? Could you post the result of “ls -l /home/user/lappstack-1.2-1/postgresql” ?

Thx for the response,

I installed it as a regular user and this is that ls -l /home… prints:

drwxr-xr-x 2 user-server user 1264 18 mar 23:23 bin
drwx——— 11 user-server user 496 21 mar 21:17 data

EDIT: I solved the problem simply reinstalling the stack, now it starts correctly without any problem fortunatly :) many thanks anyway for your help

I’m glad to hear this.
