Service PostgreSQL Initdb [FAILED]

First, the scene

There may be a problem with the configuration when installing PostgreSQL "The problem is that I changed the pg_hba.conf in the local column ident to peer will be wrong" cause the service does not come, error is as follows:

[[Email protected] ~] # /etc/init.d/postgresql Restart stopping PostgreSQL service:                               [  OK  ]starting PostgreSQL service:                               [FAILED]

So I reinstalled postgresql-server with yum Remove and yum install.

Execute Command # service PostgreSQL INITDB Error following installation is complete:

[[Email protected] ~] # Service PostgreSQL Initdb  is  not empty!                               [FAILED]

Ii. Solutions

The web says this command executes only once and does not need to be executed a second time. Said is equal not to say.

Look again at the error message, the data directory is not empty.

My idea is to

[[Email protected] ~] # Cd/var/lib/pgsql [[Email protected] ~] # move Data datatemp

Then execute # service PostgreSQL initdb OK again.

[[email protected] pgsql] # lsbackups  data  datatemp  Pgstartup.log

Then I will be OK to serve again.

[[Email protected] ~] # /etc/init.d/postgresql Start Starting PostgreSQL service:                               [  OK  ]
