Postgresql stop working when upgrading from S10U3 to U4

Question

hello all,
in S10U3, i installed postgresql following:
http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/howtoguides/postgresqlhowto.jsp
after upgrading to U4, postgresql failed to start:
svc:/application/database/postgresql:default (PostgreSQL RDBMS)
State: maintenance since Sat Nov 24 08:23:13 2007
Reason: Restarting too quickly.
See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-L5
See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1M postgres
See: /var/svc/log/application-database-postgresql:default.log
Impact: This service is not running.
and the log indicates:
svcprop: Couldn't find property `postgresql/bin' for instance `svc:/application/
database/postgresql:default'.
/lib/svc/method/postgresql: /pg_ctl: not found
when looking at /lib/svc/method/postgresql, i notice that something has changed.
I i reboot S10U3, everything works fine.
Anybody can help,
thanks,
gerard

Answer 1

ok, here is my solution to have postgresql working after upgrade to U5:
- look at /var/svc/log/application-database-postgresql:default.log
it says:
svcprop: Couldn't find property `postgresql/bin' for instance `svc:/application/
database/postgresql:default'.
/lib/svc/method/postgresql: /pg_ctl: not found
so using svccfg, i'm adding this path:
svc:/application/database/postgresql:default> setprop postgresql/bin = astring: /usr/bin
- nemo-root% svcadm refresh svc:/application/database/postgresql:default
and now, it works again!
hth,
