Just upgraded postgresql to 8.1.3, and successfuly configured, started and stopped the RDBMS. One thing I just couldn't do: postgresql as a service on FC3.
I copied and renamed this script: postgresql-8.1.3 /contrib/start-scripts/linux to : /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql and followed the instructions within the script:
# make symlinks to # /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K02postgresql # /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K02postgresql # /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K02postgresql # /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S98postgresql # /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S98postgresql # /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S98postgresql
if I try at the command line to start the service:
> service postgresql start
I get:
> unrecognized service
I'm certain it's a simple thing to get the RDBMS fire up at boot, but then, after searching and searching for a solution, I just gave up.
