i attempting install , run postgresql server, whenever install using

* starting postgresql 9.1 database server                                        * postgresql server failed start. please check log output: 2014-04-03 17:18:16 pdt fatal:  not create lock file     "/var/run/postgresql/.s.pgsql.5432.lock": permission denied                                                                     [fail] invoke-rc.d: initscript postgresql, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing postgresql-common (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of postgresql-9.1: postgresql-9.1 depends on postgresql-common (>= 115~); however: package postgresql-common not configured yet.  dpkg: error processing postgresql-9.1 (--configure):  dependency problems - leaving unconfigured dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of postgresql:  postgresql depends on postgresql-9.1; however:   package postgresql-9.1 not configured yet.  dpkg: error processing postgresql (--configure):  dependency problems - leaving unconfigured no apport report written because error message indicates followup error          previous failure. errors encountered while  processing:  postgresql-common  postgresql-9.1  postgresql e: sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned error code (1)

i guessing it's permissions issue; how go solving it? running ubuntu 13.10

check owner of /var/run/postgresql , set postgres if not so, type

sudo chown -r postgres:postgres /var/run/postgresql

if user running not have sudo privilege,

1) change root

su -

2) change ownership of /var/run/postgresql postgres user , postgres group

chown -r postgres:postgres /var/run/postgresql

i had same problem when installing postgres on ubuntu 14.04 , changing ownership fixed problem me.
