[cobalt-developers] PostgreSQL error... [urgent]



Hello,
 
We have been trying to install a MySQL <=> perl DBI / DBD on our raq3 systems lately and we beleive it really... _really_ messed up the server.
 
Although we are not sure it has to do with the problem we are having, here it is:
 
When we are trying to start the PostgreSQL Database (it won't start on boot), we get the following error message:
 
[root@www init.d]# ./postgresql start
Setting up PostgreSQL: FATAL: StreamServerPort: bind() failed: Permission denied
        Is another postmaster already running on that port?
        If not, remove socket node (/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5583) and retry.
/usr/bin/postmaster: cannot create UNIX stream port
 []
 
Note that we are starting it from the /etc/rc.d/init.d/ directory.
 
Would anyone have tips to find out what is the problem and help us fix it?  I totally uuninstalled everything aobut the MySQL dbd and dbi, as well as anything that could be in PG's way.  We also considered re-installing cobalt's disctribution RPMs concerning PG... with no success.
 
This is getting quite urgent because without PG, the whole /admin and /siteadmin system is down.
 
Thank you!
