Can't get PostgreSQL to run in Debian Lenny
- by nuqqsa
I'm trying to install PostgreSQL 8.3 on Debian Lenny (kernel 2.6.26-2-686) using the package manager:
sudo apt-get install postgresql-8.3
postgresql-client-8.3
postgresql-contrib-8.3
postgresql-common
When deploying the package postgresql-common, the following warning is displayed:
supported_versions: WARNING: Unknown
Debian release: 5.0.4
I wonder if this is related to the problem I describe below.
Next I try to launch the database server but it doesn't have any effect, neither any logs are generated.
sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.3 start
Does anybody have a clue of what might be going on?
