[cobalt-users] Cobalt Raq4 Site List not showing up

[John Mehan <jmehan@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've recently encountered a problem with my RAQ4.  For whatever reason,
my site list does not show up in the GUI.  I also get an email stating
that the "the PostgreSQL server is not responding" .

I have tried to restart postgres with no luck.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
  [root init.d]# ./postgresql start
  Setting up PostgreSQL: no database files found.  creating...
  You cannot run initdb as root. Please log in (using, e.g., 'su')
  as the (unprivileged) user that will own the server process.
  failed!
--------------------------------------------------------------------

I think I did have database files at one point but I tried recreating
the site list using a script from another post:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
  echo "Forcing permission 01777 on /home/tmp"
  chmod 01777 /home/tmp
  echo ""
  echo "Rebuilding Postgresql configuration"
  mv /var/lib/pgsql /var/lib/headache.pgsql
  echo ""
  echo "(Re)Starting Postgresql"
  /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql restart
  echo ""
  echo "Reconstructing the home site"
  /usr/local/sbin/meta-verify -f -s -v -i
  echo ""[root admin]# ./fix_sitelist.sh
  Forcing permission 01777 on /home/tmp
--------------------------------------------------------------------

But when I run this script as root I get the following error:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
  Rebuilding Postgresql configuration
  mv: /var/lib/headache.pgsql/pgsql: cannot overwrite directory

  (Re)Starting Postgresql
  Shutting down PostgreSQL: not running!
