I upgrade debian server then I got this error:
[....] Starting PostgreSQL 9.1 database server: main[....] The PostgreSQL server
[FAILed to start. Please check the log output. ... failed!
failed!
But the log file is empty.
Can anyone help me to start PostgreSQL?
To solve the problem I changed the owner of the log file to postgres:
chown postgres:posgres logfile_path

Getting below message in postgres logs, after upgrading my db from 9.0.4 to 12.2
LOG: Failed to reopen the file pg_stat/global.stat retrying.
I have checked the pg_stat directory and im not seeing any file named global.stat.
Any help ?
I'm getting an error when trying to create a database. I have postgres installed and I've already made a few test projects successfully. And, I've not seen this error. Any help would be great:

I had same problem today when tried to run mix ecto.create.
So first make sure you have postgres. recommend using brew to install it.
brew install postgres
use brew services to start/stop postgresql,
create a database,
create postgres superuser,
probably you will need to give permission on folders.
these links were useful to me :
psql: FATAL: role "postgres" does not exist
psql: FATAL: database "<user>" does not exist
I had the same issue, and the problem was that postgres was not running.
so, to check this, you should run :
brew services list
and then, if you see :
Name Status User Plist postgresql stopped
you should run :
brew services start postgresql
cheers!
I installed two postgresql(s), 9.5 should use port 5433, 9.3.4 should use port 5432:
me#camb:/usr/lib/postgresql/9.5/bin$ ls -al psql
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 564464 Jan 7 14:54 psql
me#camb:/opt/pkgs/postgresql-9.3.4/bin$ ls -al psql
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 405960 Aug 5 18:52 psql
me#camb:/opt/pkgs/postgresql-9.3.4/bin$ cat /etc/group
postgres:x:200:
me#camb:/opt/pkgs/postgresql-9.3.4/bin$ groups postgres
postgres : postgres ssl-cert
I wrote a script to install postgresql-9.5 and migrate from 9.3.4 to 9.5
Problem 0: postgresql-9.5 can not start sucessfully and why status is online
Output during install:
* Starting PostgreSQL 9.5 database server
* The PostgreSQL server failed to start. Please check the log output:

What do the above errors?
By the way, another error is:

Thanks
By the way, I run the following to do migration:
sudo -u postgres /opt/pkgs/postgresql-9.3.4/bin/pg_dumpall -p 5432 | sudo -u postgres /opt/pkgs/postgresql-9.3.4/bin/psql -p 5433
Thanks
You have to use the same libpq library as the one used in psql 9.5.
You should do the following:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/postgresql/9.5/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
sudo /sbin/ldconfig /usr/lib/postgresql/9.5/lib
You mess up with different versions of postgresql.
To start/use 9.5, you must use the appropriate binaries: initdb, pg_ctl and psql (for example):
mkdir /usr/lib/postgresql/9.5/data
/usr/lib/postgresql/9.5/bin/initdb -D ../data/
/usr/lib/postgresql/9.5/bin/pg_ctl -D ../data/ -l logfile start
/usr/lib/postgresql/9.5/bin/psql -p 5432 -d template1
More info: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/install-post.html
and PQsslInUse issue: http://postgresql.nabble.com/psql-error-on-postgresql-9-0-psql-symbol-lookup-error-psql-undefined-symbol-PQconnectdbParams-td5104930.html
The error is "undefined symbol: PQsslInUse"
I just ran into this problem myself. I discovered that the reason was because I compiled Postgres 9.5 from scratch into a particular directory and then decided that I wanted it elsewhere and moved the install to a new directory. Down the line when I went to restore my database with psql, I got the above error. I corrected the problem by deleting my installation directory, changing the PREFIX to the correct location, recompiling and reinstalling Postgres. psql worked fine after this.
I had the same problem
psql: symbol lookup error: psql: undefined symbol: PQsetErrorContextVisibility
And the solution is :
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PGXZ_HOME/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
I had a similar issue and finally found a solution:
My user did not have permission for the postgres installation.
What worked for me was to switch to the postgres user:
sudo su - postgres
psql
and then it worked no issues.
I've installed postgres as database and then iRODS in Ubuntu 14.04. Then I start its configuration
sudo /var/lib/irods/packaging/setup_irods.sh
After the configuration phase, when iRODS starts the updtating, the first 4 steps go well

Port 5432 In Use ... Not Starting iRODS Server
Install problem:
Cannot start iRODS server.
Found 0 processes:
There are no iRODS servers running.
Abort.
Have you any ideas on what went wrong?
Because I don't have enough reputation to comment:
Which version of iRODS are you using?
This portion of the output:
Creating iCAT tables...
Skipped. Tables already created.
combined with this portion:
ERROR: relation "r_grid_configuration" does not exist
suggests that the setup ran before, but only partially completed, leaving the system in a broken state. I would recommend reinstallating from scratch, which includes:
Uninstalling the iRODS icat and db plugin packages:
sudo dpkg -P irods-icat irods-database-plugin-postgres
note: make sure to use the -P, so that the configuration files are removed from dpkg's database.
Dropping and remaking the database
Deleting the following directories:
sudo rm -rf /tmp/irods /etc/irods /var/lib/irods
Reinstalling the packages and running sudo /var/lib/irods/packaging/setup_irods.sh
This portion of the output:
(1) Waiting for process bound to port 5432 ... [-]
(2) Waiting for process bound to port 5432 ... [-]
(4) Waiting for process bound to port 5432 ... [-]
Port 5432 In Use ... Not Starting iRODS Server
suggests that you are using port 5432 as your iRODS server port. This will conflict with the default Postgres port. I recommend using the default iRODS server port of 1247. This value was queried during setup as:
iRODS server's port [1247]:
and is recorded in /etc/irods/server_config.json under the zone_port entry.
iRODS-Chat:
It may be easier to continue this on the iRODS-Chat google group. Repairing installs can require back-and-forth communication, which may not be inline with standard stackoverflow usage.
When attempting to initialise the PostgreSQL database after installing on a Docker-io Fedora 19 container I get the following error:
bash-4.2# postgresql-setup initdb
Failed to get D-Bus connection: No connection to service manager.
failed to find PGDATA setting in postgresql.service
Looks like an environmental issue but any help would be appreciated.
