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

[Ben T]

So tonight I installed the XS 0.6 all over again but this time I didn't
checkbox anything.  The end result was the exact same thing.  Moodle is
disabled.  Please see results inline.  Thanks!

[root at schoolserver ~]# service pgsql-xs initdb
[FAILED]

[root at schoolserver ~]# cat /library/pgsql-xs/data-8.3/pg_log/initdb.log
initdb: directory "/library/pgsql-xs/data-8.3" exists but is not empty
If you want to create a new database system, either remove or empty
the directory "/library/pgsql-xs/data-8.3" or run initdb
with an argument other than "/library/pgsql-xs/data-8.3".
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale en_US.UTF-8.
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to UTF8.
The default text search configuration will be set to "english".

[root at schoolserver ~]# rm -rf /library/pgsql-xs/data-8.3/*

[root at schoolserver ~]# service pgsql-xs initdb
[FAILED]
[root at schoolserver ~]# cat /library/pgsql-xs/data-8.3/pg_log/initdb.log

I'm not familiar with network settings so my XS running on a virtual machine
doesn't seem to be connected to the internet for 'yum install strace' to
work. And I don't know how to transfer the strace tar file even if I have it
downloaded on the host machine where the vm is running.  When you said "look
for the line that talks about..." ... which file were you referring to?

Unfortunately, the reinstall didn't help =(
