Hi I have a postgres version 7.4 and version 8.3 installed in my system. 7.4 uses port 5432 and 8.3 uses port 5433. I started 7.4 and the database is running fine. Now i started the database server in version 8.3 and it started fine.
pg_ctl -D /export/home/josh/postgres8.3/pgsql/data start -l log8.3.log server starting -sh-3.00$ pg_ctl status pg_ctl: server is running (PID: 4408) /usr4/postgres8.3/bin/postgres -D /export/home/josh/postgres8.3/pgsql/data
But when I type psql -l I get this error -sh-3.00$ psql -l psql: FATAL: database "postgres" does not exist
why? Is it not possible to have multiple version installations i the same machine(in different ports)?
