I'm guessing this has to do with your userpriv in FEATURES. Not sure a good fix here other than running the test as the postgres user via su.
(In reply to comment #1) > I'm guessing this has to do with your userpriv in FEATURES. Not sure a good > fix here other than running the test as the postgres user via su. I think the location of the lock file can be changed; I don't remember exactly but I used this to run pgsql on boxes where I didn't have root access. If you want I can check in my old scripts how I did this.
Still happens on 8.3.7 Running without userpriv is not an option, since it also can fail if the directory doesn't exist (like it did for me). If there is no previous postgresql installation, this is normally the case. > FATAL: could not create lock file "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.55432.lock": No such file or directory Changing the location for the lock file would be the cleanest solution I suppose.
Also, running as root will cause the test to fail at another spot: > initdb: cannot be run as root > Please log in (using, e.g., "su") as the (unprivileged) user that will > own the server process. As far as I can tell, changing the location of the unix sockets/lock files would require patching pg_regress to pass a different directory to postgres using the -k switch.
Does this issue persist in the latest 8.3?
