[cobalt-security] Re: Internal Server Error on Raq4i

["Achieve Website Design" <info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Martin,
Having tried the /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql start command, I still get
"failed", even after trying your killall commands, which yielded "no
processes stopped".

What do you mean by:

"If this still doesn't work, try top and look for zombies.
You may want to do a :

ps axf

and mail it to the list..."

Try telnetting / ssh'ing to the box and do : /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql
start

If the interface still doesn't respond, try:

killall -12 /usr/bin/postmaster
sleep 5s
killall -9 /usr/bin/postmaster
/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql start

If this still doesn't work, try top and look for zombies.
You may want to do a :

ps axf

and mail it to the list...
