I’m trying to initialize and start postgresql under Red Hat 8 using the command:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql start
The script fails, and from looking at the log, it would appear that the error “Standard in must be a tty” occurs when the script does a
“su” to the postgres user to run the initdb script.
The version of Postgresql is 7.1.3-2, and all components (lib, postgresql, server, and perl) were installed using RPM.
I appreciate the help – tried a bunch of things over the past 2 days with no avail…
Thanks
