[Server-devel] Database error troubleshooting

[David Leeming]

More on this from my remote XO Champion in PNG 

Reminder: 
The error is : "Error: Database connection failed" as viewed in a connected
XO when they try to access the Moodle home page (local schoolserver link in
Browse)

Rebooting does not help. We already established disk space is OK. It's a
default 0.6 installation.

service postgresql status  - gives "postmaster is stopped"

service httpd restart - stops and starts up OK 

it pings the FQDN and the shortcut schoolserver OK on the XS and an XO using
Terminal.

Any help with this appreciated. It is difficult to have to reinstall it, as
no-one there has the skills.

Have you tried rebooting the server?

The reason that I ask, is that I imagine if the Unix domain socket was
missing due to an accident, rebooting would start the database server
component again and create the Unix domain socket.

But I'm really not sure what other conditions might lead to the same
symptom.
