Cannot Start ABRA Flexi Server on Linux (pg_lsclusters)

Flexi Server cannot start because the PostgreSQL database cluster is unavailable or not set up correctly.

Written by Petr Pech

Cause

Most common reasons:

  • The PostgreSQL cluster for Flexi does not exist

  • only the default main cluster exists

  • incorrect or missing Flexi configuration (e.g. flexi-server.xml)

  • corrupted installation

Solution

Step 1 – Verify PostgreSQL clusters

pg_lsclusters

Check whether the cluster used by Flexi appears in the output (typically a cluster other than main).

Step 2 – Check the Flexi configuration

sudo cat /etc/flexi/flexi-server.xml

Verify:

  • the cluster name / port

  • that it matches an existing cluster listed by pg_lsclusters

Step 3 – Check the logs
