following article on http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/OVirt_-_disable_SSL_in_VDSM i managed to get vdsmd started on fedora 16 but failed running [root@ovirt01 ~]# psql engine -U postgres -c "UPDATE vdc_options set option_value = 'false' where option_name = 'SSLEnabled'" psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"? [root@ovirt01 ~]# psql psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"? is this step necessary to start ovirt on fedora 16? i supposed postgres was installed with ovirt [root@ovirt01 ~]# rpm -q postgresql postgresql-9.1.4-1.fc16.x86_64 and it is not on startup list too [root@ovirt01 ~]# chkconfig --list Note: This output shows SysV services only and does not include native systemd services. SysV configuration data might be overridden by native systemd configuration. ceph 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off ebtables 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off hsqldb 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off iscsi 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off iscsid 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off jboss-as 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off libvirt-guests 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off libvirtd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off livesys 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off livesys-late 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off netconsole 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off netfs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off network 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off sandbox 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:on 6:off tcsd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off thanks for any tips/hints the last fedora i was using was version 12, systemd is quite new to me -- Regards, Umarzuki Mochlis http://debmal.my
