enabling tcp/ip connection via pg_ctl
 
good day to all. how can i add this '-i' option for tcp/ip enable on my rc.postgres script?
here's my script:
Code:

#! /bin/sh

# chkconfig: 2345 98 02
# description: PostgreSQL RDBMS

# This is an example of a start/stop script for SysV-style init, such
# as is used on Linux systems.  You should edit some of the variables
# and maybe the 'echo' commands.
#
# Place this file at /etc/rc.d/rc.postgresql (or
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc.postgresql) and make symlinks to
#  /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K02postgresql
#  /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K02postgresql
#  /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K02postgresql
#  /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S98postgresql
#  /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S98postgresql
#  /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S98postgresql
# Or, if you have chkconfig, simply:
# chkconfig --add postgresql
#
# Proper init scripts on Linux systems normally require setting lock
# and pid files under /var/run as well as reacting to network
# settings, so you should treat this with care.

case $1 in
  start)
        $ECHO_N "Starting PostgreSQL: "$ECHO_C
        su - $PGUSER -c "$DAEMON start -D '$PGDATA' -s -l $PGLOG"
        echo "ok"
        ;;
  stop)
        echo -n "Stopping PostgreSQL: "
        su - $PGUSER -c "$DAEMON stop -D '$PGDATA' -s -m fast"
        echo "ok"
        ;;
  restart)
        echo -n "Restarting PostgreSQL: "
        su - $PGUSER -c "$DAEMON restart -D '$PGDATA' -s -m fast"
        echo "ok"
        ;;
  status)
        su - $PGUSER -c "$DAEMON status -D '$PGDATA'"
        ;;
  *)
        # Print help
        echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|status}" 1>&2
        exit 1
        ;;
esac

exit 0

When i try editing the script at line case$1 like this:
Code:

....su - $PGUSER -c "$DAEMON start -D '-i-' '$PGDATA' -s 'l $PGLOG"
It doesnt work..

hope u can help me.. any idea will appreciate very much thanks you.

I think you should change the '-i-' to -i (leave the quotes!). second way is to edit the /var/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf file and search for 'tcpip_socket' and set it to true. in the config file you may change more options for the connections

hi thanks for ur reply.

the -i option on pg_ctl does not support it alone so they say it has to be with single quote. the postmaster only has this -i option. anyways i tried it ur suggestion but it does not work either..

any other suggestion will appreciate very much.

didn't know about the -i thing, but editing the config file should work... at least it does so on my systems. is there some error message maybe while starting postgresql?
