If one is running, the other is blocked. So, change the port of the first one to 5433 or something and both instances will run fine at the same time. As for the compile from sources, did you edit the pg_hba.conf on the folder where your database is stored? It specifies the hosts that can connect to postgre and the authentication methods. With the sources, it blocks almost everything by default. If these don't work, # netstat -anp | grep tcp and you'll see what processes are listening or # netstat -anp | grep post to see if postgre or postmaster are listening on any door. Hope this works, Raphael :) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
