I'm trying to install postgres on a sun solaris sparc instance in my home directory.
Everything is fine except when I try to start postgres server, I get the following error
FATAL: "/home/reic/var/lib/pgsql/data" is not a valid data directory
DETAIL: File "/home/reic/var/lib/pgsql/data/PG_VERSION" is missing.
I used the command pg_ctl -l logfile start to start the server.
I have followed all the necessary steps for installation on sun solaris.
Any idea as to why is this happening ?
Solution:
All the necessary files are there in the PGDATA directory and I ran it as the same user which is trying to start the server. The problem is with the placement of env variables in the .bashrc instead of .bash_profile file. Apparently the customisations are not propagated to sub shells when the env variables are put in .bashrc.
My bad for not realising this! Thank you all....

I have been trying to start the mongodb server on my local machine but it is NOT working. It used to work earlier without any errors. I am using macOS Big Sur.
I typed the following in my terminal. I have my mongodb database files setup in mongodb-data folder.
sudo mongod --dbpath “/Users/userName/mongodb-data”
but this is giving error and exiting with an exit code of 100. I have made sure mongodb-data folder is present.
Here is a snippet from the error log:
"ctx":"initandlisten","msg":"DBException in initAndListen, terminating","attr":{"error":"NonExistentPath: Data directory “/Users/userName/mongodb-data” not found. Create the missing directory or specify another path using (1) the --dbpath command line option, or (2) by adding the 'storage.dbPath' option in the configuration file."}}
The only change I have made is to replace my name by userName for privacy.
Any suggestions?
I have vs code configured to use the git bash as a terminal in windows 7.
"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe"
I have enabled SSH key based authentication to remotely access a host. All this works fine from within the terminal in VS Code.
However, when using the vscode-remote SSH extension to connect to host I get an error because it tries to connect using "The terminal process command 'cmd.exe'" instead of git bash.
I've checked my terminal settings configuration in vs code and it points to git bash.exe
I've used the terminal extension in vs code and it opens a git bash and successfully connects to the host
Is there a setting that I'm missing to force Remote-SSH to use the git bash for the connection?
JerryL's answer lead me to realize, that I can simply set GIT's ssh path c:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\ssh.exe in the remote.SSH.path setting of VS Code Preferences:
Then it just worked like a charm.
Just for clarity my VS Code version is: 1.40.0-insider (system setup)
I ran into a similar issue trying to get MS VS Code Studio Remote-SSH working with Putty's Pageant. I had Git for Windows installed and in a Git Bash shell, I could ssh and pick up the Pageant keys and no password was needed.
But VS Code Remote-SSH, while using the Git ssh in C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\ssh.exe was using Windows 7 cmd.exe shell which didn't talk to Pageant.
What worked for me on Windows 7, VS Code 1.36.1 with (Remote Development 0.15.0, Remote-SSH 0.44.0) and Git for Windows 2.22:
Start Pageant (C:\Program Files\PuTTY\pageant.exe) and Add key.
Start the ssh agent shim (C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\start-ssh-pageant.cmd). This takes care of the communication between Git ssh, which looks for ssh-agent, and Pageant.
Create the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable
Control Panel / System / Advanced Settings / Environment Variables..
User variables for username / New..:
Variable name: SSH_AUTH_SOCK
Variable value: /tmp/.ssh-pageant-username (e.g. /tmp/.ssh-pageant-bill) (Environment Variable assignment screenshot)
Test ssh:
Open a command prompt: Enter set to view the list of Environment Variables. Is the SSH_AUTH_SOCK variable set correctly to something like /tmp/.ssh-pageant-bill?
Try ssh to your host using Git's ssh.exe: c:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\ssh.exe user#host If this works, then VS Code Remote-SSH should work.
Finally, I added Pageant and start-ssh-pageant.cmd to my Windows 7 Startup so this persists across reboots.
Hope that helps.
Jerry.
I had a similar problem trying to get VS Code Remote use Putty Pageant.
1. Create .bat file somewhere with the following content:
echo OpenSSH
"C:\YOUR_PATH_HERE\PLINK.EXE" -ssh %*
2. Open VS Code settings, type remote ssh path in search and find Remote.SSH: Path settings
3. Past here path to your .bat file
4. Now VS Code Remote will use Pageant correctly.
I'm setting up a new remote host and every time i initiate it i get the following error output: Any feedback or direction on how to resolve this issue?
Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal.

Failed to parse remote port from server output: : No such file or directory
If the server fails to shut down properly, sometimes it leaves dangling lockfiles. This can cause startup to fail and produce the "Failed to parse remote port from server output" error message. In this case the solution is to simply to delete the lockfiles:
.vscode-server/bin/[:xdigit:]*/vscode-remote-lock.*
Fixed the issue. It appears I had 2 other server agents running incorrectly. I killed both server agents using kill (PID) and removed ".vscode_remote" directory from user home directory. Then i reinitialized remote-ssh from vscode. Successfully connected!
On remote machine you do not have a tar installed. It's in log output
Installing... Downloading with wget
WARNING: tar exited with non-0 exit code
so under a root run:
apt-get install tar
or with sudo, if you have a user with sudoers configured:
sudo apt-get install tar
I also got the same issue and my workaround was to provide proper rights to the home or user folder, so vscode can create a remote folder and do the required installation on it.
Example :
sudo chmod -R 777 home/
In this case, I have provided all rights to my home folder and It worked like a charm for all the users.
I ssh'd onto the remote server (linux) and then deleted both directories as follows:
$ rm -r .vscode-server.backup2022-04-03T16:20:18-05:00
$ rm -r .vscode-server
In case someone else encounters the same issue - I had an instance where remote target had no space left on device. After extending root volume of target machine, connection worked fine.
I had the same issue because vscode was looking for my .vscode-server directory in the wrong location (it was in a custom location due to restrictions on where files can be saved). This can be fixed by using How to change vscode-server directory. Specifically add:
"remote.SSH.lockfilesInTmp": true,
"remote.SSH.serverInstallPath":{
"hostname":"/path/to/.vscode-server/.."
}
To your settings.json
In my case, it wasn't working because of server asking for new password when starting a session. What I did was to open a new default terminal (not VSC terminal but your OS default terminal like ZSH, CMD, and so on). And I used the ssh command to login. I logged in successfully and changed the password. Then I tried connecting with the new password and it worked because the server didn't asked for password change now.
Command:
ssh username#IP
Enter password and you'll get asked to change the password. Change the password and try connecting again with new password using SSH VSC extension.
If yout authorize by ssh-key - also check the value of User parameter in VsCode ssh config. User must have matching key in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on remote host.
#Sachin's answer directed me in the right direction, VSCode needs permissions in order to create some files, but instead of giving 777 permissions to your home folder (which can be dangerous) you can just chown the user that wants to log in (the user for me was ubuntu):
sudo chown -R ubuntu /home
I also got the same issue and my workaround was to provide proper rights to the home or user folder, so vscode can create a remote folder and do the required installation on it.
Step 1: Add port to your config file :
Host hostname
Port 22
User username
Step 2 : Go to File->Prefrences ->Open settings.json fle
Search for lockfilesInTmp
and check the box next to that
I've been trying to make ssh connection using Cygwin, but it doesn't recognize my id_rsa public key file.
My command lines are as follows:
$ssh XXX#XXX -i /home/XXX/.ssh/id_rsa
Warning: Identity file /home/XXX/.ssh/id_rsa not accessible: No such file or directory.
Permission denied (publickey,XXX).
(Sorry, I used XXX for the private information.)
I copied my .pub file to C:\cygwin\home\XXX.ssh folder. But it still spits out the same error message.
Thank you so much in advance.
Background
Most cygwin executables, map Unix path /home/XXX/.ssh/id_rsa to Windows path C:\cygwin64\home\XXX\.ssh\id_rsa. Except that ssh.exe maps the same Unix path to Windows path C:\home\XXX\.ssh\id_rsa.
That is if you do cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa, it will print out the contents of C:\cygwin64\home\XXX\.ssh\id_rsa, but if you do ssh XXX#XXX -i /home/XXX/.ssh/id_rsa it will try to read the key from C:\home\XXX\.ssh\id_rsa.
I assume this is bug in Cygwin. In any event, this is a workaround that worked for me (on Windows 10 and the latest version of Cygwin as of October 2020).
Solution
Open Administrator command prompt. Go to C:\ and issue the command mklink /D home c:\cygwin64\home
That's it.
But for me tat least, once I solved the above problem, I started getting the problem described in this Superuser question https://superuser.com/questions/1296024/windows-ssh-permissions-for-private-key-are-too-open. I used the solution from the most upvoted answer and ssh finally worked for me.
From your post it looks like SSH is looking for /home/XXX/.ssh/id_rsa and is not finding it. Ensure that the .pub file you copied is named correctly and has the right permissions.
Try putting the option before the hostname...
I think it is a good question.
I found it also confusing. I installed tomcat few minutes ago (after a while) and I notice they are two different "webapps" places.
at /usr/share/tomcat6/webapps/default_root/
at /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ROOT/
The content of both are the same but none of them are symlinks.
When I started tomcat it says:
Quote:
This is the default Tomcat home page. It can be found on the local filesystem at: /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ROOT/index.html
Tomcat6 veterans might be pleased to learn that this system instance of Tomcat is installed with CATALINA_HOME in /usr/share/tomcat6 and CATALINA_BASE in /var/lib/tomcat6
So, based in this information, the /usr/share/... folder was kept for backward compatibility, right?
But according to what you posted libs are being read from the CATALINA_HOME instead of CATALINA_BASE.
Perhaps they still keep that default reference to prevent other systems to stop working after updating?
Good observation!
UPDATE:
I read this at: /usr/share/tomcat6/bin/catalina.sh :
Quote:
# CATALINA_HOME May point at your Catalina "build" directory.
#
# CATALINA_BASE (Optional) Base directory for resolving dynamic portions
# of a Catalina installation. If not present, resolves to
# the same directory that CATALINA_HOME points to.
When we read at: /etc/init.d/tomcat6 :
(at the beginning)
CATALINA_HOME=/usr/share/$NAME
(then...)
# Directory for per-instance configuration files and webapps
CATALINA_BASE=/var/lib/$NAME
However, If you try to start TOMCAT manually (as I did long time ago) with:
sudo /usr/share/tomcat6/bin/startup.sh
It displays:
Quote:
Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/share/tomcat6
Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/share/tomcat6
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/share/tomcat6/temp
Using JRE_HOME: /usr
touch: cannot touch `/usr/share/tomcat6/logs/catalina.out': No such file or directory
/usr/share/tomcat6/bin/catalina.sh: 357: cannot create /usr/share/tomcat6/logs/catalina.out: Directory nonexistent
So, why here CATALINA_BASE is set to the same as CATALINA_HOME?
/usr/share/tomcat6/logs/ do not exist, but exists in /var/lib/tomcat6/logs/
I see that my logs are writing into /var/lib/... when starting Tomcat from the init.d script. So its better starting it from there.
I'm not an expert on Tomcat but I was having this same problem and I was able to restart the server with the command:
sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 restart
CATALINA_HOME -- tells "org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap" where to look for required /lib /bin and other -- which are dependencies to run the server . It is basically your Tomcat installation home directory.
CATALINA_BASE -- expects a certain directory structure to scan for (once started). For example /conf to find server.xml and web.xml which is specific to a web application. as long as you have got that directory structure and content, CATALINA_BASE can be any directory.
I've seen that.
The proper and cute way is to create a "setenv.sh" script into your CATALINA_HOME/bin folder(in your case "/usr/share/tomcat6/bin/setenv.sh").
The contents of your setenv.sh:
#!/bin/sh
export CATALINA_BASE=/new/catalinabase/path
So there is no need to modify catalina.sh by yourself. If setenv.sh is present in bin directory, catalina.sh will execute it automatically.
I can't tell you why CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE are the same in startup.sh (resp. catalina.sh) - that's really strange.
Of course you can start Tomcat via the init.d script. But sometimes you may want to start it via startup.sh/catalina.sh (e.g. for debugging).
So as a workaround/hack you can correct the problem by adding the following line at the beginning of /usr/share/tomcat6/bin/catalina.sh
export CATALINA_BASE=/var/lib/tomcat6
I could do this by executing this command,
$ service tomcat6 start
which reinitialized my CATALINA_* path and starts the tomcat instance
chmod +x startup.sh
chmod +x shutdown.sh
chmod +x catalina.sh
chmod +x setclasspath.sh
chmod +x bootstrap.jar
chmod +x tomcat-jni.jar
hope it will be work.
