[8.940][MYTH] pgsql fails to start - "su: incorrect password"

BAlfson

Can't start or stop from command line.  Did a command line password reset to no avail.  Tried to force re-init of postgresql.conf, but got the password error.

I've kept this VM, so I can fire it up if any developer wants to look.  I created a new VM, imported the backup from last night and have no further problems.

Cheers - Bob

    In the newer VM, the problem was resolved after doing a shutdown from WebAdmin.  In the older VM, this did not resolve the issue.

    Unless you think there's something to be gained from researching this further, I'd say MYTH. [;)]

    Cheers - Bob

    I had a similar problem in v7 I believe, trying to rebuild the database. Root access was denied. However I was able to su as postgres and run the rebuild commands without any problems. I didn't dig into why root access was denied but when a major database corruption occurs, anything is possible.
