Обсуждение: starting postgresql for first time
Thankyou to all the people who have taken the time to reply my posts, unfortunately nothing has worked. I have removed postgresql and reinstalled from source following the directions from: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/install-post.htm this is the end result... gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/postgresql-7.4.2/src/pl' gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/postgresql-7.4.2/src' postgreSQL installation complete.

This user must also own the server process.

You may look first for a book explaining basic Linux and bash concepts. From the bash man page: "Typing the ****suspend**** character (typically ^Z, Control-Z) while a process is running causes that process to be stopped and returns control to bash." This does not kill the process. The process is still alive but suspended and can be restarted either by the 'bg' or 'fg' job control commands. This means that the lock files are still there and Postgres is right, there is another postmaster instance running. Avi
hi robert , nothing like some fun!

When you did that, you stopped the postmaster by setting itto joe 20879 0.0 0.0 1328 340 pts/5 T 23:22 0:00 ./program_network_server.exe infile localhost 8888 the eighth field is now a T. That means traced/stopped. are you in new zealand? (is NZST really new zealand standard time?) to restart, don't just delete the lock file "/usr/local/pgsql/data/postmaster.pid" YOu need to put the job in the foreground . The way to unstop a process is fg (bash) which you are in. again. YOu shouldn't need to do CTRL-z as you can just hit return. those are just messgaes on the console, you can ignore themand continue.
one would have thought this was automatic, or is there a reason somebody would want to run it in the terminal?
