Hello, I'm working on installing Gforge(.org) on a server running Debian. I'm using "apt-get install gforge" using the packages on gforge.free.fr. I cannot get Postgresql to start. I tested it on my local machine and never ran into this problem. Any ideas would be great. (ok.. maybe I should try the Worcester Coop course! <G>) I get this message when I try to start it as root "bash: /etc/init.d/postgresql: Permission denied" the pg_hba.conf: local all all trust host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trust Any help would be appreciated.

One of their people had contacted the WPI Student ACM Chapter asking for help, but I'm not sure if anything ever came of that. I think a couple of them even showed up to the Linux Installfest the ACM had back in early April, so there's definitely activity going on with that group. Doing something jointly definitely sounds like it could be mutually benefitial. just my 2 pence -frank p
