DBI connect

[Juliano Silva]

Hi

I have problems updating Proxmox Mail Version 6.1.3

DBI connect('dbname=Proxmox_ruledb;host=/var/run/postgresql;port=5432','www-data',...) failed: could not connect to server: No such file or directory (500)

Is the postgres service running?
check the logs (journalctl -r) for potential hints

I hope this helps!

have you solved your Problem?
In my case there was the wrong version of postgresql in the path-setting in the config-file:
/etc/postgresql/11/main/postgresql.conf
After correcting the version from 9.6 to 11 in the path setting on various positions and restarting the service the system started working properly.

 

[Stoiko Ivanov]

did you copy the postgres template and upgrade from pmg5?
in that case you need to compare the templates against the new ones:

Hi Stoiko,
I upgraded from 5.x to 6.0 a few month ago with given Instructions on:
https://pmg.proxmox.com/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_from_5.x_to_6.0
I didn't compare templates onm this upgrade, no. Everything worked fine until today.

Today I've upgraded from 6.0 to 6.1 and than I had the same problem like Juliano.
It took some time until I've seen, that the postgresql.conf had wrong path information included.

But thank you for your answer, I'll check the templates now to prevent future problems.
Have a nice day.

Best regards,
Stefan

Thanks for the hint - it helped a lot. This should be added to the migration doc !

Glad to make the upgrade instructions more clear - what was missing from https://pmg.proxmox.com/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_from_5.x_to_6.0#Postgres_And_Other_Template_Modifications
to make that change more clear?

Thanks!

Hi! upgrade instructions says

"
If you've modified the configuration template for postgresql (/var/lib/pmg/templates/postgresql.conf), make sure to compare and update your copy in /etc/pmg/templates/

Also compare all other templates you've overriden for new changes through the packages.
"

because I didn´t modified the original postgresql configuration templates I skipped this step.

So maybe you can add a hint that configuration file MUST altered liked descriped in this thread before. You have to change paths to version 11 manualy.

Best regards,
Kai
