Postgres is failing with 'could not open relation mapping file “global/pg_filenode.map” '

Question

I\'m having an issue with my install of postgres in my development environment and I need some help diagnosing it. I haven\'t yet had any luck in tracking down a solution.

Answer 1

That may be a permission issue, Please check the owner and group of configuration files in /var/lib/pgsql/9.3/data/

chown -R postgres:postgres /var/lib/pgsql/9.3/data/

solved the issue for me
