Installation of postgres is not possible (cannot read config)

[#1]

Hi all,

while update from 4.16.05 to 4.16.09 the installation of 2nd slave postgres does not work. As discribe in

http://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/latest/update-apigee-edge-41609 the installation on a new server fails with error:

Checking for optional variables
Found optional variable PG_MASTER...OK
Found optional variable PG_STANDBY...OK
apigee-service: apigee-postgresql: Not running (NO_PIDFILE)
Initializing database: Creating directory /opt/apigee/data/apigee-postgresql/pgdata
This node is configured as Standby
apigee-service: apigee-postgresql: Not running (NO_PIDFILE)
Error: cannot read config
Error: setup.sh: /opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service exited with unexpected status 1

The directory /opt/apigee/data/apigee-postgresql/pgdata is empty. Does anyone has a solution for this?

Thank You!

did you check the permission for the config.txt file ?

The permissions are correct. The solution is to call the setup script with "-f /opt/apigee/configfile" and not only "-f configfile.

For the problem above, make sure your data on 16.05 is on /opt/apigee/data/apigee-postgresql/pgdata and not in a different directory. If you used a symbolic link to move the data directory, it could be a problem with the symbolic link or symbolic link permission.
