PostgreSQL version: 8.0.3
Operating system: CentOS 4.1
Description: /etc/init.d/postgresql - script version 7.4.5 fails on
startup
Details:
I'm using Version 7.4.5 of the postgresql start script (acquired in the
postgresql-8.0.3 rpms for rhel-es-4).
On my HP DL320(G3) server, running CentOS 4.1 (further, detailed specs can,
of course, be provided if required) I have had to modify the sleep at Line
192 from 1 second TO 2 seconds.
Otherwise the test was failing as the postmaster.pid file wasn't written in
time.
