Description of problem: When installing with Postgres ("./install.pl" and most likely also with Managedb), sometimes, the database does not start soon enough and the following error occurs and the installation fails: createdb: could not connect to database postgres: FATAL: the database system is starting up This is related to bug 1435250 and bug 1289857 (this BZ is its follow-up), yet is a slightly different issue where the pidfile exists, the socket exists and yet, the database is still not accepting connections after startup: createdb: could not connect to database postgres: FATAL: the database system is starting up In these 2 ML replies, there are 3 possible solutions shown: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/18654.1475678751%40sss.pgh.pa.us https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/1b38b100-97ba-48ac-feba-9fac53977cc3%40iki.fi How reproducible: Non-deterministic, not often Steps to Reproduce: 1. # ./install.pl Actual results: Warning and installation fails Expected results: The installer should wait for the DB to start accepting connections
