[Server-devel] Fresh install of XS 0.6 -- "Moodle is disabled at the moment."

[Ben T]

I deleted everything under /library/pgsql-xs/ but 'service pgsql-xs initdb'
failed.  Ended up with an initdb.log file that was the same as running
'service postgresql initdb.'  When I installed the XS, I checkbox'd pretty
much everything that was offered (editors, db, web server, etc.) ... would
that make a difference?

I already checked for inodes usage yesterday.  That's not a problem.
