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

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

Peter,
Thankyou for your assistance. I am quite new to all this, so please excuse
me if I have some basic questions.

What exactly is PostgreSQL?
By using your commands below, will I lose the sites that are already on the
Raq?
Would this include one which I have already set up with SSL?

I checked the server, and see that the file postgresql exists in
/etc/rc.d/init.d

Thanks again,
Declan.

Rodrigo,
Unfortunately, this email is not going to help you much, except to let
you know, that I have just had the same problem and have posted this to
cobalt users. You can find my message below:
I was updating my Raq4 and installing new packages from the Cobalt download
site. All went well until I installed either Raq4-All-System-1.0.1.9447.pkg
or Raq4-All-Security-1.0.2-8762.pkg.
I cannot now access my server management interface. I get the message "The
server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to
complete your request".
Also, every 15 minutes I receive the message from my server, "PostSQL server
is down and cannot be restarted".

Can anybody please help?
Declan Connolly.
