Hi All, I’m trying to install and older version of openpbs (18.1.2) thinking it would be easier to install on SLES 12 sp1. The rpm installs fine, but I’m unable to start PBS.
/etc/init.d/pbs start
Starting PBS
PBS Home directory /var/spool/pbs needs updating.
Running /opt/pbs/libexec/pbs_habitat to update it.
*** Error initializing the PBS dataservice
Error details:

pg_ctl: could not start server
Examine the log output.
Failed to start PBS Data Service
Error starting PBS Data Service
I’ve noticed that before attempting to start pbs there is no ‘datastore’ directory in /var/spool/pbs. When I try to start PBS pbs_habitat creates datastore and gives postgres ownership of the directory, but then when PBS fails it deletes the datastore directory. Not sure if this is suppose to happen.
Other information:
the rpm used: pbspro-18.1.2-0.x86_64.rpm
This system is running postgresql-9.4-1.1
I’m not seeing much for logs. All log directories under /var/spool/pbs are empty.
using systemctl to start
systemctl start pbs
Job for pbs.service failed. See “systemctl status pbs.service” and “journalctl -xn” for details.
