[cobalt-users] Postgresql problem

["Filiberto Ricci" <filiberto@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

I had to restart  my raq4i because of a sudden high memory usage.

Then Postgre is not working any more.
I get every 15 min the message
"The PostgreSQL server is down and cannot be restarted."
and the GUI is broken (sitelist.cgi).

I tried to restart postgre without success.


Some previous post in the list says that it is a problem of the update 8532
(that I installed).
But the only solutions I found was:

>I had the same message after installing the name patch (8532) on my RAQ4i

What does this mean?
Is to contact Cobalt the only solution?
What are the protections of /tmp directory?
Can I change them by myself? How?

Thanks in advance,
Filiberto
