Your system clock is correct, I assume ?

How did you install the server files ?

        - package ?
        - tarball ?

How did you call the bootstrapper ?

        - gm-bootstrap_server ?
        - from inside a tarball ?

That's likely the correct place for the log file when
bootstrapping from a package installed systemwide.

Oh, perhaps the package failed to create

        /usr/lib/gnumed-server/server/bootstrap/

during install and the log file went missing because of that ?

Anyway. Here is the relevant code from the bootstrapper:

                env_var = 'GM_DB_PORT'
                self.port = os.getenv(env_var)
                if self.port is None:
                        _log.info('environment variable [%s] is not set, using 
database port from config file' % env_var)
                        self.port = cfg_get(self.section, "port")
                else:
                        _log.info('using database port [%s] from environment 
variable [%s]' % (self.port, env_var))
                if self.port is None:
                        _log.error("Need to know the database server port 
address.")
                        return None

which is duly reflected in the (likely old) log file:

> 2010-07-25 15:41:12  INFO      gm.bootstrapper

So, ATM, I am not sure why it then gives an error message
about a socket at port 5432. One thing you might try is doing

        export PGPORT="5432"

in addition to setting GM_DB_PORT such that this will
configure any libpq-based software we might have missed to
pass "-p GM_DB_PORT" to. I added this to the relevant shell
scripts now.
