https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/postgresql-database-not-starting-quot-postmaster-does-not-start/m-p/3807275#M20946 I attempted both a manual and an automatic installation of SIM on SUSE linux enterprise 9. The istall manual indicates that I should be running version 7.4.2-36.3, which I am (used the rpms that came bundled with the install).<BR /><BR />Everything goes well, until I try to load the postgresql database (after the mxinitconfig testing and initialization phase). I get an error message at the console stating:<BR /><BR />postgresqlpg_ctl: postmaster does not start. <BR /><BR />/var/log/postgresql has repeated entries:<BR /><BR />no pg_hba.conf entry for host"[local]", user "postgres", database "template1", SSL off.<BR /><BR />After researching that error message, I tried adding:<BR /><BR />host all all xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 255.255.255.255<BR /><BR />to my pg_hba_conf file and setting the tcpip_socket value to "true, but still no luck (Should those configurations be necessary anyway???).<BR /><BR />Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
