chef-server-ctl reconfigure fails after customizing the PostgreSQL port
I gave up trying to get Chef's PostgreSQL instance configured to use a different port.
Instead, I modified our existing PostgreSQL installation's port number to be 5433 and let Chef's instance use 5432. Now the "chef-server-ctl reconfigure" command completes successfully.
check postgresql log file
tail -f /var/log/chef-server/postgresql/current2015-02-28_13:29:01.48646 FATAL: could not create lock file "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432.lock": Permission denied 2015-02-28_13:29:02.57961 FATAL: could not create lock file "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432.lock": Permission denied 2015-02-28_13:29:02.57961 FATAL: could not create lock file "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432.lock": Permission denied
My problem is solve running following command
chmod 777 /tmp
