Oh, yes: what I was actually trying to run was: systemctl start postgresql.service
Any chance you get anything from # systemctl restart postgresql.service # ps -eZ |grep initrc
Well, that command never returns without those fixes (well, it does, but it takes like 5+ minutes and it fails), so I'll be running those two commands in separate windows. Which I'm sure is fine, but just to be clear. system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 postgres 18701 0.0 0.0 169504 1716 ? Ss 11:07 0:00 /usr/bin/pg_ctl start -D /var/lib/pgsql/data -s -o -p 5432 -w -t 300 (ps afuxZ, actually, but should have everything you need) -Robin
What does # rpm -qf /usr/bin/pg_ctl If you change the labeling to chcon -t postgresql_exec_t /usr/bin/pg_ctl does it help?
rlpowell@morji> sudo rpm -qf /usr/bin/pg_ctl postgresql-server-9.1.6-1.fc17.x86_64 And that change seems to do the trick! -Robin
I added labeling. Thank you for testing.
selinux-policy-3.10.0-98.fc16 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 16. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/selinux-policy-3.10.0-98.fc16
Package selinux-policy-3.10.0-98.fc16: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 16 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing selinux-policy-3.10.0-98.fc16' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2013-0230/selinux-policy-3.10.0-98.fc16 then log in and leave karma (feedback).
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
selinux-policy-3.10.0-98.fc16 has been pushed to the Fedora 16 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
