Hey Chris, thanks for response.<br><br>My featureserver.cgi is owned by root/root. Changing to postgres/postgres had no affect.<br>
I could try changing more of the webserver files to postgres ownership, but not quite sure where to start.<br><br>
the socket does exist, and had full permissions, I've changed the .lock file to 777 as well, but still no affect.<br>
<br>
srwxrwxrwx 1 postgres postgres 0 Jul 23 11:29 .s.PGSQL.5432<br>
-rwxrwxrwx 1 postgres postgres 28 Jul 23 11:29 .s.PGSQL.5432.lock<br>
<br>
I've tried combinations of ownership between these files and
featureserver.cgi (root/postgres).<br>the lock file must be owned by postgres user for postGIS to start. <br><br><br>Unix permissioning is tough :( <br>
