PostgreSQL install failure - Please help

[gshergill]

Hi Nagios Community and Support.

I received an error during installation.

The following is the install.log;

Thank you.

Please note that it mentioned the issue was with the file;

3-dbservers

I can post the file if required.

Can you run

Code: Select all

ls -l /etc/nsswitch.conf

If the permissions aren't 644 then run

Code: Select all

chmod 644 /etc/nsswitch.conf

Hi scottwilkerson,

Thanks for the reply.

I ran the command with the following result;

Code: Select all

ls -l /etc/nsswitch.conf
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1688 May  4  2010 /etc/nsswitch.conf

I believe that is already on 644, but I ran chmod just in case and nothing changed so I assume it was already set to 644.

I then ran the install again;

Code: Select all

cd /tmp/nagiosxi
./fullinstall

And the same error appeared;

Code: Select all

Running './3-dbservers'...
PostgresQL installed OK - continuing...
Initializing PostgresQL...

Any further tests/solutions please?

Thank you for your time

Was this a clean minimal install or was PostgresQL installed before you began the Nagios XI install?

gshergill,

Also, are you able to start the service manually?

Code: Select all

service postgresql start

Hi guys.

This was a completely clean install - I've just installed CentOS on another VM and still the same error.

Starting PostgreSQL manually results in a fail as well;

Code: Select all

service postgresql start
Starting postgresql service:                               [FAILED]

gshergill,

Which version of CentOS?

Code: Select all

cat /etc/*release

Regards,

[gshergill]

Hi yancy,

It's the latest version of CentOS;

CentOS release 6.3 (Final)

This is a 32bit system, I read somewhere that CentOS 6.x 32 bit is recommended.

Kind Regards,

gshergill,

Can you restore the security context of nsswitch.conf and test starting the service again.

Code: Select all

restorecon /etc/nsswitch.conf
