Re: [cobalt-users] GUI not working (postgres won't start!?)

[cobalt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello Gerald,
I had tried to do this once before and everything works until
I go to psql cobalt. When I do this,

root@web-raq05:/etc/cobalt# vi .meta.id
root@web-raq05:/etc/cobalt# su - postgres
[postgres pgsql]$ psql cobalt
psql: connectDBStart() -- connect() failed: Connection refused
        Is the postmaster running at 'localhost'
        and accepting connections on Unix socket '5432'?

The database is not running (binded to the unix socket) and when
I try to start it, I get the errors mentioned in my original email.

Any other suggestions!?

Thanks for writing,

Cobalt Man
