That in itself is not an error; it's just telling you that there was a postmaster lock file already present. As the message says, pg_ctl will plow ahead anyway. If the postmaster doesn't start, then there's some deeper problem, but you have not told us anything that would help to determine what. Are there no other messages? If so, are you perchance redirecting the postmaster's stderr to /dev/null? Not a good thing to do if you want to debug problems... regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
