Failed to start the database server
Hi, I tried installing Postgres Plus Advance Server 9.4 and got the Error 'Failed to start the database server.'
from logs i got following information.
Script stderr:
/PostgresPlus/9.4AS/installer/server/startserver.sh: line 16: /etc/init.d/ppas-9.4: No such file or directory
Error running /PostgresPlus/9.4AS/installer/server/startserver.sh ppas-9.4: /PostgresPlus/9.4AS/installer/server/sta$
Problem running post-install step. Installation may not complete correctly
Failed to start the database server.
Now how to solve this, I think the problem is with init.d as arch doesn't have init.d.

OK, that's not much help. I'm trying to help you, but I'm not a mind-reader. You need to Be Precise.

Thanks for your precious time, sorry i could not explain properly last time, the downloaded file was in tar.gz format and after extracting i got a .run file then executed it from the terminal, it was like a graphical installer, found in Windows.
Actually i think the problem is being Arch Linux not supported. Supported distros are Linux x86-64: RHEL / CentOS / OEL 7.x & 6.x, SLES 11.x, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Debian 7.x, Amazon Linux , the installation script is asking for init.d file which does not exist in Arch Linux.

That's probably a significant factor. How does this PostgreSQL differ from normal PostgreSQL? Can you not just use normal PostgreSQL that is already packaged in the repos? If you really need this PostgreSQL, you could use the PKGBUILD from ABS as a base and alter it to package/install "Postgres Plus" if they provide source tarballs or similar.
