Re: connectDBStart() -- connect failed

connection refused Is the postmaster running locally and accepting
connections on UNIX sockets '/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432'?

I'm running on CYGWIN/wintel.


pg_ctl stop  gives

       waiting for postmaster to shutdown
........................................................................................................

failed
      pg-ctl: postmaster doe not shutdown

pg-ctl start gives

          Another postmater may be running. Trying to start postmaster
anyway.
          postmaster successfully started


It was working fine ... However my loads were very slow,  I turned on fsync
(fsync=off). and it would not restart. I turned it back on again, and it
still dos'nt start.




There is not Postmaster task.  (ps -ef )
I deleted the Postmaster.pid
A /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432             file does exist .
A /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432.lock    file does exist .
