Start pbs with error like "Connecting to PBS dataservice........."

Install PBS as the guide below said, it went well

But when I tried to startup the pbs, it get stucked when the process try to update PBS Home,it likes:

[linux@centos7-801 libexec]$ sudo /etc/init.d/pbs start
Starting PBS
PBS Home directory /var/spool/pbs needs updating.
Running /opt/pbs/libexec/pbs_habitat to update it.

*** Setting default queue and resource limits.

Connecting to PBS dataservice…

The operating system of mine is like:

[root@centos7-801 linux]# uname -a
Linux centos7-801.novalocal 3.10.0-327.22.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jun 23 17:05:11 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Build with source code here:
https://github.com/PBSPro/pbspro/archive/v14.1.0.tar.gz

The PBS_HOME’s operation permissions also seems right:

[root@centos7-801 linux]# ls -l /var/spool/pbs
total 52
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Aug 1 03:33 aux

Can some one have any ideas? Thanks

Make sure <ipaddress hostname> pair is present inside the /etc/hosts file.
else, add the entry and restart pbs.
If that doesn’t work you can check $PBS_HOME/datastore/pg_log/ and $PBS_HOME/server_logs/ to debug it further.

Thank you for replying, nithinj

I don’t know whether it has an influence,I was installing PBS pro on a virtual machine, /etc/hosts file add line like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost
10.154.55.178 centos7-801.novalocal centos7-801

In addition, what do you mean by “add the entry”?

And I just checked the $PBS_HOME/datastore/pg_log as you said, it seems that the database has something wrong with schema “pbs” does not exist…

Hi, nithinj

As you said, I checked the $PBS_HOME/datastore/pg_log/ and $PBS_HOME/server_logs/ and then I found the dataservice of PBS isn’t startup successfully.

And then I searched, finally found the upgrade issue is due to the firewall…

Shutdown the firewall of the system and then PBS can work well~

Appreciate for your advice again, it helps a lot~
