Hi Tom,
Thanx for the reply and suggestion. Actually , I did wait for more than 5 hrs before
posting this issue in this alias. It will be
really great if you can advise on how to proceed from here. Does the below information
points to any issue with my Linux Box
configuration is it an issue with POSTGRES:
The O/P of >netstat -plunt | grep 5432
(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info will
not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:54320 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN -
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:54321 0.0.0.0:* -
And O/P of netstat -ranv
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
10.83.103.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.192 U 0 0 0 eth2

169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth2

Thanx in advance.
Regards
Sidd

Did you try waiting a while, as suggested by the error message? Many TCP stacks have
a timeout before they will let a pre-existing
port number be reassigned. (This is to prevent any risk of packets for old
connections getting delivered to the new owner of the
port.)
