Question

All,

I'm trying to install/run PostgreSQL 9.3, but am receiving a multitude of errors which seem to point to a failed installation of postgresql from the enterpriseDB package.

For example, trying to start the server with this command:

sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql-9.3 restart (or start)

...yields the following:

Restarting PostgreSQL 9.3: 
-su: /opt/PostgreSQL/9.3/bin/pg_ctl: No such file or directory
PostgreSQL 9.3 did not start in a timely fashion, please see /opt/PostgreSQL/9.3/data/pg_log/startup.log for details

Except there is no /opt/PostgreSQL/ folder, and I've been told that creation of that was attempted during the EnterpriseDB installation...why the start command is trying to go there, I do not know!

I've started another thread which gave me a very temporary solution, but that doesn't seem to help after I do a restart of my machine.

So the question, how do I completely remove the EnterpriseDB failed installation?

I've tried these commands, but the issue still lingers:

sudo apt-get autoremove postgresql-9.3-postgis pgadmin3
sudo apt-get --purge remove postgresql\*

Any thoughts or recommendations are welcome!

Thank you!
