I just got a copy of a VM running SLES10 in which I have Postgresql. I try to start it using the command "postgresql start" but it returns an error message: "could not start postmaster". On the old machine it works fine. The only things I did since copying the machine was to change its IP Address and name, install VMWare Tools and delete the postgresql logs directory /.../postgres/pg_log (I recreated it afterwards). I tried restarting the machine but I still get the error. What can I do to determine the cause of the problem?
What can I do to determine the cause of the problem?
Check out the Postgres and system log files
My bet is that there is some problem with accessing the data directory e.g. the account running the postmaster does not have read/write access to that directory.
Edit
You can try to start Postgres "manually" (as opposed to the system provided scripts) by running:
pg_ctl -D /path/to/data/dir start
then you might be able to see error messages on the console. Make sure you are running this as the postgres user

I'm using Django on Ubuntu 18.04.
I've got everything set up. And I type python manage.py run_huey in the server (through an SSH connection) to start huey, and it works.
However this is done through the command line through SSH and it will shut off when I close the SSH connection.
How do I keep run_huey running so that it will stay active at all times? Furthermore, after a system reboot, how do I get run_huey to automatically start?
You may explore supervisorctl utility for ubuntu, it keeps process running and can log into file and any other features. Google it.
I'm following step one of this docker tutorial.
I have installed ubuntu version 14.04 on a virtual box vm.
I intentionally downgraded by docker version so that when I type "docker version" I get Client version: 1.5.0. This is because the server I intend to communicate with is on 1.5.0.
When trying the command "docker run hello-world" I get the response:
"Post http:///var/run/docker.sock/v1.17/containers/create: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: permission denied. Are you trying to connect to a TLS-enabled daemon without TLS?"
When running "sudo docker run hello-world" I get the response:
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is 'docker -d' running on this host?
Can someone please explain to me what's happening and how can fix it?
Thanks.
Edit: I tried to follow the solution for Linux here
However,
I had tried to follow El Mesa's instructions in that post. However, when I got to running sudo docker -d I got an Error running DeviceCreate (createPool) dm_task_run failed. I don't think I need to start up a anything since I was just following the tutorial and the tutorial just did docker run hello-world immediately after installing docker
Pay attention to the text that immediately preceeds Are you trying to connect to a TLS-enabled daemon without TLS in the error message. In the question asked here it is permission denied, but it could also be no such file or directory (or possibly something else). The former is more likely to mean that the current user is lacking permissions to access docker, and the latter is more likely to mean that there is a problem with the docker service itself, including the possibility that it is not running at all.
So depending on what your situation is look for the answers on this and the
linked question page that focus on the respective problem area.
In my case (CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503 (Core), docker-1.7.1-108.el7.centos.x86_64) it was permission denied. I have added user to the docker group (sudo usermod -a -G docker user) but docker command still didn't work when I ran it under user, while it ran fine under sudo. What I forgot to do is log the user out and back in after adding it to the docker group, which is a step necessary for the group membership to take effect.
Restarting the machine will also solve this issue but it is a more drastic step and will work because it will imply log out / log in step. I would recommend trying to log out and back in before restarting because if it works it will give you more confidence that the group membership was the actual issue. And if it doesn't work you can always try restarting, though if it works after that it will probably work because restarting took care of some other underlying issue.
And one more thing in case you come across it and find yourself in doubt - when you first install docker and wish to add user to the docker group, you may notice (as I did in my case) that the "dockerroot" group exists but not "docker" group. Do not add user to the dockerroot group assuming that is the one you need. Instead create new docker group and add the user to it.
It may be that your docker daemon is not running.
I have ubuntu/docker on a desktop with wireless LAN.
It acts a bit finicky compared to the wired computers from which docker works OK, and duplicates the error message you reported:
$ docker run -it ubuntu:latest /bin/bash
FATA[0000] Post http:///var/run/docker.sock/v1.17/containers/create: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: no such file or directory. Are you trying to connect to a TLS-enabled daemon without TLS?
However, after running:
sudo service docker start
It behaves correctly (at least until the host is rebooted):
$ docker run -it ubuntu:latest /bin/bash
root#2cea4e5f5028:/#
If the system is not starting the docker daemon on boot, as was the case here, then the docker daemon can be automatically started on boot by editing /etc/rc.local to do so. Add the line below immediately before the exit line. This will fork a new bash shell, wait 30 sec for the network setup, etc., to settle, and start the docker daemon. sudo is unnecessary here because /etc/rc.local runs as root.
( sleep 30; /usr/sbin/service docker start ) &
I am using Neo4j 2.0.3 Community server by installing it on my linux system (by unzipping the tar.gz). I got this error while I tried to start the server
WARNING! You are using an unsupported Java runtime.

Neo4j Server may have failed to start, please check the logs.
I checked for the solution for this and came to know that /usr/sbin had to be added to the path. On doing so and restarting the server, I got the following message
Another server-process is running with [40903], cannot start a new one. Exiting.
However, when I run the command neo4j staus , it says
Neo4j Server is not running
Can anybody please help me with how should I get started with it?
This is very late, but might help others.
If it tells you this, and you check that process id with, for example, ps aux | grep 40903, and it's not neo4j, the problem might be that the port is being used.
By default neo4j uses 7474, but can change this on the neo4j folder /conf/neo4j-server.properties and that was my problem, I had set the port to '22' which was being used. SO make sure it is set to a port that is open and available.
Hope this helps.
You might want to examine the startup script.
Another server-process is running with [40903], cannot start a new one. Exiting.
indicates (me to) that there might be a pid file (or the script uses them) which was written and is checked before attempting to start a new instances. This the normal thing to do.
I think you need to kill the other process using kill
You can see this answer for how to kill the process:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/8916/when-should-i-not-kill-9-a-process
Otherwise, restarting the operating system will also do the job. For me, I normally start neo4j in the console, as in ./neo4j console. This makes it easier to stop the process.
I downloaded postgresql-9.1.
but when I execute the command in terminal:
$ createdb mydb
I get the following message:
createdb: could not connect to database postgres: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
please tell me how to sort this problem.I have even tried to uninstall and then reinstall it. I am trying to run this on linux mint 15 (cinnamon).
Use ps to see if the postgresql process is actually running. If not, start it (service postgresql start). Normally should start up itself on boot after installation but who knows. Also, some error may prevent it from starting on boot.
If postgresql is running, then you may need to edit pg_hba.conf in the data directory. Again, normally the database should listen for local connections by default but who knows.
I installed single node cluster in my local dev box which is running Windows 7 and it was working fine. Due to some reason, I need to restart my desktop and then after that whenever I am doing like this on the command prompt, it always gives me the below exception-
S:\Apache Cassandra\apache-cassandra-1.2.3\bin>cassandra -f
Starting Cassandra Server
Error: Exception thrown by the agent : java.rmi.server.ExportException: Port already in use: 7199; nested exception is:
java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind
Meaning port being used somewhere. I have made some changes in cassandra.yaml file so I need to shutdown the Cassandra server and then restart it again.
Can anybody help me with this?
Thanks for the help.
in windows7, with apache cassandra, a pid.txt file gets created at the root folder of cassandra. Give following instruction to stop the server:
d:/cassandra/bin> stop-server -p ../pid.txt -f
Running -f starts the server as a service, you can stop it through the task manager.
It sounds like your Cassandra server starts on it's own as a service in the background when your machine boots. You can configure windows startup services. To run cassandra in the foreground on windows simply use:
> cassandra.bat
If your are using Cassandra bundled with DataStax Community Edition and running as a service on startup of your machine then you can execute following commands to start and stop Cassandra server.
Start command prompt with admin rights
run following commands
net start DataStax_Cassandra_Community_Server
net stop DataStax_Cassandra_Community_Server
